Backup help!

Hey guys,

I have just migrated from WHSv1 to 2011. I have 6x2TB drives and was planning on using RAID 1 for redundancy. However, ive been having no end of problems with the array needing rebuilds and stuff, so ive decided to give up with it. Using windows mirroring from computer management seems to be a massive pain in backside as its constantly resynching.

So what im looking for is a simple way of doing an "echo" from one drive to another which can be scheduled as a task on the WHS, back in the day I used to use .bat files for this, but ive lost my templates and cant remember the commands.

Any help much appreciated, cheers guys.

Cool thanks malman, ive just done some reading on the robocopy command, any reason I cant do:

robocopy source dest /MIR /mt /zb /r:2 /w:2 /log:logfilename

?

Cheers

Hawker

edit: also where do the log files get outputted to?

Hey malman,

Thanks again for that, very useful, im going to run it as you've laid it out and then task schedule it to run daily at some low usage period.

Thanks very much for your help again.
