My Domain Controller is in Win2003 Server platform and having some shared
folders. I want to replicate the files on the shared folders to another
member server which is also in Win2003 Server platform to avoid the
inconvenience of the daily backup. Hence the backup process is taking a long
time everyday. I would like to plan the replication of the shared folder
files to replication server on schedule basis.

Please do let me know is there any solution available in windows for the same.

DFS might come in handy here
A good tutorial and more background information can be found here:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows2003-Distributed-File-System.html
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/storage/dfs/default.mspx

Please note that this should NOT be considered as an alternative to backups.
If files get deleted on one copy, the replication will delete it on all
other DFS links as well. But it can be handy to minimize downtime, and
enhance reliability and availibility.

If you want another solution, scripted replication is also possible. I can
advise robocopy for this if you want to play around with it yourself.
