NEWS YOU CAN USE:

Following in the footsteps of Google, Autodesk has recently created a website called Autodesk Labs to post utilities that they are testing the functionality of and that they think fill a need for their users. One such utility is called Vault Mirror.

Vault Mirror creates a read-only mirror of the files within a Vault. The mirror will contain the same files and directory structure as seen from Vault Explorer. It's similar to running the "Get Entire Folder" command on the root folder, but Vault Mirror is smart enough to pull down only the needed files. When used with Task Scheduler, Vault Mirror can be used to create remote copy of the latest versions of the Vault file tree.

As with anything at Autodesk Labs, this utility is not supported by Autodesk and should be seen as a "Use At Your Own Risk" utility.
