Hi, as I offered a laptop to my daughter, I want also to offer her a "backup".
My idea would be to have an external (SSD/USB) drive with rdiff-backup and a BAT-script on it, which would make sure that, when started, it backs up the current user's directory to a sub-directory of the drive (i.e. the place where the script lies).
Extra-points for starting automatically the script when plugging in the external drive (is autostart still a thing in Windows 11? Security-wise not optimal...), and for having a window pop-up as long as the backup runs so that the user knows to not unplug the drive (the CMD terminal would be just fine).
Has anybody already implemented something like this and could share the details? Is it at all possible under Windows? I would have written the script in 5min on Linux, but here I'm lazy.
Thanks, Eric
