I use Robocopy also for quick and dirty backups using windows scheduler. Here's an example

robocopy U:\USERS D:\USERS /E /XF *.wma *.jpg *.mpg *.wmv *.wmf *.bmp *.gif *.asf *.avi



This grabs all my users on my network folder and copies to an external USB Drive only copying new or modified files minus all those pictures and movies.

Robocopy has a switch for the archive bit - works quite well.

Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] NAS Backup?

I'm interested to see how this works.  My experience with rsync and Windows
hosts was that it couldn't really tell whether files were changed or not...
it pulled all the data, every time.

I found some documentation stating similar results, so I don't think it was
just a conf error on my part.

Does anyone have experience with NasBackup?

I'm looking for a good way to rsync from Win32 servers/clients to
FreeNAS or SME.

Thanks,
