[GRLUG] OT, .. simple backup tool?

[mooselikebriard]

For something simple like My Docs only I use Robocopy or xcopy via a batch
file on the users desktop.  They click and off it goes.

You can modify the following....

xcopy c:\docume~1\%USERNAME%\desktop\*.* H:\desktop\*.* /s /c /d /e /h /i /r
/y
xcopy C:\docume~1\%USERNAME%\Locals~1\Applic~1\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst
H:\EMAIL\*.pst /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y
xcopy C:\docume~1\%USERNAME%\Applic~1\Microsoft\Outlook\*.nk2 H:\EMAIL\*.*
/s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y
