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,

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 | *]]
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 | *]]

thx 4 the replys, but ive had no problems networking the w98 to w2k except for having to create username on w2k pc.
Well user names go with NT so, actually you haven't had any problem.
Oh if the connection is slow, you need the patch!
