Hi everyone. First Post here but have watched alot of episodes.
I have recently discovered scripting but this one bakes my noodle.
I have a big client for my computer business that I have just built a server for, well the customer has just informed me that they would now
like to do automated back-ups to an external HDD.
So the problem that I face is I have only ever played with this script that I found here :
@echo off
:: variables
set drive=D:Backup
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /k /y
echo ### Backing up Documents. . .
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%" "%drive%Arrow"
echo ### Backing up Favorites. . .
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%Favorites" "%drive%Favorites"
echo ### Backing up email and contacts (MS Outlook). . .
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook" "%drive%Outlook"
:: use below syntax to backup other directories. . .
:: %backupcmd% ". . . source directory. . . " "%drive%. . . destination dir. . . "
echo Backup Complete!
@pause
:: change to the destination drive first
D:
:: your parent backup directory
drive=D:Backup
echo ### Searching for files to clean up. . .
cd %drive%
dir /s/b/ad cookies > %drive%cleanup. txt
dir /s/b/ad temp > %drive%cleanup. txt
dir /s/b/ad history > %drive%cleanup. txt
echo ### Deleting cookies, temp files and history from backup dir
for /f "delims=" %%J in (%drive%cleanup. txt) do rd "%%J" /Q/S
echo Cleanup complete
@pause
which I have modified to work under vista instead of xp.
So the question that I have is can i use this script for there auto backup or does it need to be modified ?
They would like all of the information backed up for each user on the server including e-mail's ( basically friggin everything ).
Can you PLEASE help me i have tried to mod the script above but just cannot get it to work.
PLease Please Please HELP !!!!!!
P. S this script needs to be FULLY automated with no user interactrion what so ever as no-one has any acces to the administrator accountr other than me.
Thanks in advance.
