[DUG] Backup software

[Rodney]

Hi John,

I use fsync.  It is a powerful command line utility for synchronise two
directories.  I wrote a little batch file to backup newer files to my
external HDD.  There is an option for recursive copy (all directories under
a node).

http://www.vicobiscotti.it/en/fsync.htm

Remark: there is a minor problem, if you have Unicode filename and the
system locale is not the same, it may not copy the file.  I guess it may be
a problem of DOS prompt rather than fsync but not sure about it.  If you
don't have Unicode filename then it should be fine.


Cheers
Rodney Chan

I gave up on XXCOPY ? used it for batch file backups, was great while it
worked but after 100 times or so it starts putting up a very very slow nag
screen, and after Windows update starts complaining about not being tested
on this version of Windows and simply stops working.

Does XXCOPY still do those dumb things?

I went back to XCOPY, which at least stays working for what it does.

XCOPY example part of a batch file:
ECHO Copying files from D2007\%1 to BACKUP\D2007\%1

IF EXIST c:\JBData\D2007\%1\*.PAS   XCOPY   c:\JBData\D2007\%1\*.PAS
c:\BACKUP\D2007\%1 /d/y

and so on for extensions DFM  DPR BDS*  dproj RES TXT INC etc

Can anybody recommend a good backup system, just for backing up to an
external Hdrive?

I downloaded a trial version of "Nero BackItUp" but appears poor in UI, slow
as a dog and poor setup options.

 

Thanks

John

I've been using Karen's Repliator for years. Simple and does what I want. 

Freebee and I use it between several machines and laptops.
