backing up network connections
Posted by Sankop on October 15th, 2005


Hello,
I would like to make a backup of all my network connections, because I need
a new PC, and I have about 40-50 network connections to remote PC's for
service.
Is it possible to backup these setting, or do I have to make them al over
again.

thanks.

I assume that you rely on "remembered" network connections.
If you look after 40..50 remote PCs then you should use a more
robust mechanism, one that is easily transported between PCs,
one that can be backed up. Place a batch file into your Startup
folder and put the following lines into it:

@echo off
net use /persistent:no
net use \\Remote1\Data
net use \\Remote2\Data
net use \\Remote3\Data
etc.
