| [Need] automated daily backups to file server?
are there any software packages that can do an automatic backup of a single folder to a file server at a certain time daily?
I tried seting up a scheduled task with ms backup to a mapped drive, but it only gave me the choice of saving the whole folder as a single bkf file. I would rather have it copy each file/folder exactly like the backup source. so I can browse the backup folder without ussing msbackup.
since this will be done durring offhours, checking the daily differentials is not as important but would be nice.
thanks:) |

| I would suggest RoboCopy, part of the Windows Server Resource Kit. A good description of the switches supported can be found here. Use it in conjunction with the AT command or a scheduled task.

Yes, there is.
SynchBack
Easily back-up, restore, and synchronize files using a multi-award winning software solution from 2BrightSparks.
Use on a local drive, network drive, FTP server, ZIP archive, or any removable media.
Also has a built-in scheduler.
Comes in two flavors: freeware and paidware.
I use it at work and highly recommend it.

Use the XCOPY command with the /M option. Put this in a batch file and schedule it. |

I use a batch file with command line WinRAR and the standard command line ftp client. I'd imagine you could tailor a solution for yourself with just a simple batch file doing copies. |

I use Karen's Replicator. It is pretty easy to setup, and it is free. |
