Hi,
I'm looking to automate the process of synchronising some folders. I'd like to back up some directories from two different mapped network drives, on to a drive connected to my PC. Similarly, I would like to backup some local folders on my PC to one of the mapped network drives.
I would like these backups (ideally incremental backups) to run at least once a day, but preferably four times. Is this possible with Directory Opus?
Thanks,
Kris
As DO does not integrate any scheduling, I think you'd better of with some dedicated backup solution for these kind of tasks (with GUI to set it up).
A DIY solution, in case you're familiar with the commandline and the built in windows-scheduler, is "robocopy.exe".
It's part of windows and is excellent when it comes to mirroring/syncing directorys. I use it alot myself, e.g. on a dedicated machine, that wakes itself once a week and then runs a batch of robocopys to sync/backup files across the network. But it can be used locally and scheduled as well of course. If you choose the robocopy way, just pay attention to the retry count (set it to 1) and to exclude special system folders like "recycle bin" or "system volume information". They are many sites out there with robocopy tutorials, in case if you find the list of switches and parameters to be overwhelming at first.
Please excuse typos and grammar, I should go to bed now.. o)
Thanks. CLI doesn't bother me so I'll look into Robocopy.
