sure just map a network drive of the 2000 PC and then use the normal copy command. You don't even have to map the drive in your batch file. Just make sure the win98 PC has that network drive mapped.

It should also be noted that you may have to install a networking patch for Windows 98 to network properly with Windows 2000 machines.
Good Luck,
Christian

if you have alreay mapped then drive then:
 
copy {drive leter}:\{path}\*.mdbs {drive leter}:\{path}
exit
 
example:
copy c:\"files to back up"\*.mdbs d:\mybackup
exit
 
if you have to map the drive then in the begining add:
net use d [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]

Well user names go with NT so, actually you haven't had any problem.
Oh if the connection is slow, you need the patch!
