  • We used to have a XCOPY command in a .bat file and is called by a windows scheduler task every night.If you want to schedule it then use this method.

  • A backup of a database is just a file, so you can move it any way you want. Copy & paste, as mentioned before will work. XCopy will work. If you want to drag & drop within Explorer... whatever, you can move the backup around to other media, network shares, thumb drives, external drives, whatever. You just have to have access to that location from the second server in order to run the RESTORE command.
