Easy Question....copying all files and folders!!!

Greetings,

I have a backup of a database on a local mac that I want to copy to a netwok volume. What I am looking for is a script that will mount a network volume, copy all files and folders from the HardDrive:Backup folder to NetworkVolume:OffLineBackup folder. I know how to mount the volume…and I am aware of the duplicate command, however I have no idea how to tell applescript to select all files in HardDrive:Backup and duplicate them to NetworkVolume:OffLineBackup.

Also…is there a way to have the script automatcially dismount the network volume once the file copy is done?

Thank you so much for helping a newbie.

After you mount the disk, something like this:

tell application “Finder” to ¬
duplicate every item of folder “Macintosh HD:Backup:” to ¬
folder “NetworkVolume:OffLineBackup:”

Needs error checking.

editted: note that I used the name of my startup disk in the scirpt.
