Each knows: In this day and age, in the (huge) hard drives are relatively inexpensive, it is increasingly difficult to back up important data. We are talking about (automatic) backups.
Since the I have used the program Total Commander , the synchronization function really very good (ie clean, fast and reliable) is. Since I must synchronize multiple directories (eg My Documents folder recovery), I must in each case the source and destination directory manually select, then start the synchronization, etc.
The integrated program in Windows Vista RoboCopy that with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools also for other Windows systems available, is finally a release brings to the problem.
RoboCopy (Robust File Copy) is a command line program which can be configured with numerous parameters accurately. There is also a graphical interface (Microsoft) for the program: Robocopy GUI.
I am referring only to itself RoboCopy But I wrote the following script. If you run this script, so 2 directories are completely synchronized (Mirror).
@ echo off echo Starting backup
...
set Quelle01 = "E: \\ Data \\ My Documents
set Ziel01 =" C: \\ data \\ Backups \\ My Documents
set Quelle02 = "E: \\ Data \\ Recovery
set Ziel02 =" C: \\ data \\ Backups \\ Recovery
set logfile = "c: \\ robo_log.txt"
c:
cd C: \\ Program Files \\ Windows Resource Kits \\ Tools
echo.
echo fuse 1: My Documents
Quelle01 robocopy%%%% Ziel01 / MIR / R: 10 / W: 10 / V /
XD / XD "thumbs.db" / COPY "svn." DAT / LOG:% logfile %> NUL echo
fuse 1: My Documents - done
echo.
echo fuse 2: Recovery
Quelle02 robocopy%%%% Ziel02 / MIR / R: 10 / W: 10 / V /
XD / XD "thumbs.db" / COPY "svn." DAT / LOG +:% logfile% > NUL echo
fuse 2: Recovery - done
echo.
echo finished backup.
echo.
pause
the script in detail, a brief guide:
first Create variables for the source and destination directories, and log file:
set Quelle01 = "E: \\ Data \\ My Documents
set Ziel01 =" C: \\ data \\ Backups \\ My Documents
set Quelle02 = "E : \\ Data \\ Recovery
set Ziel02 = "C: \\ data \\ Backups \\ Recovery
set logfile =" c: \\ robo_log.txt "
second Navigation to the directory in which there is Robocopy.exe (not necessary if PATH variable adapted from Windows):
c:
cd C: \\ Program Files \\ Windows Resource Kits \\ Tools
third First Directory Synchronize
Quelle01 robocopy%%%% Ziel01 / MIR / R: 10 / W: 10 / V /
XD / XD "thumbs.db" / COPY "svn." DAT / LOG:% logfile% > NUL
4th Second directory syncing with your computer:
Quelle02 robocopy%%%% Ziel02 / MIR / R: 10 / W: 10 / V /
XD / XD "thumbs.db" / COPY "svn." DAT / LOG +:% logfile% > NUL
The switch briefly explains
/ MIR - Mirror Function (Delete Date / folders in source to the target nachvollz.)
/ R: 10 / W: 10 - try [R] once again for [W] seconds
/ V - verbose output
/ XD "svn." - all directories named ". svn" disregard
/ XF "thumbs.db" - all files named "thumbs.db" ignore
/ COPY : DAT - file content, attributes and timestamps copy
/ LOG:% logfile% - Create a log file (if any:) Replace
/ LOG +:% logfile% - Create a log file (if any: expand)
>> NUL - disable screen output
this script as a *. bat file can be stored and is thus executable by double clicking. In addition, a Windows task to be created to automate the backup.
