Windows network backup..

If any of you do automated backups of your file system on a windows server I would love to know how you do it.

I looked into FTP, but SEND does not support recursive, nor does MPUT move the actual directory structure. MPUT just seems to copy the everything in the entire directory without actually moving the actual subdirectories.

So then I looked into zipping the directory and ftping that. That works fine, but I have named the file backup_12-11-2002.zip and I can not find a way to SEND a file that is dynamically named by date.

I contemplated installing PERL, but that is just another piece of software that I don't want running on my server. Less software = easier maintenance and such. Plus my PERL is a bit rusty.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
