It depends how 'purty' you want it. Personally I use a Robocopy in a Powershell script. Robocopy is the standard Microsoft command line tool for this.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy So the script would be called maybe 'backup.ps1' and the contents as follows: $date = Get-Date -format yyyyMd echo $date $logfile = "C:\Users\myuser\robocop\logs\" + $date + ".log" echo $logfile echo "Starting copy of first folder ..." robocopy C:\Users\myuser\folder1 \\myserver\myshare\folder1-backup /XF *.tmp *.bak *.fxp /MIR /FFT /R:3 /W:10 /NP /NDL /MT:32 /log+:$logfile echo "Finished first folder." pause The 'robocopy' line there will recursively mirror the contents of C:\Users\myuser\folder1 to \\myserver\myshare\folder1-backup The other switches are: /XF *.tmp *.bak *.fxp (exclude these extensions) /MIR (mirrors the directory tree) /FFT (handles timestamps in a way that will work if the target is not NTFS) /R:3 (Retry failed copies three times) /W:10 (Wait 10 seconds between retries) /NP (Don't display progress) /NDL (Don't log directory names in the log file, makes it smaller) /MT:32 (Multithreaded copy with 32 threads) /log+:$logfile (log to the filename created above) You'd have to manually add further 'robocopy' lines to do other locations of course but that's just copy\paste. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
