Hey all, I have a networked drive X which I want backed up every day but to different folders. I want the contents of drive X to be copied to another network drive Y, but copied into five folders; mon, tues, wed, thurs and fri. I want on Monday all the files to be backed up from drive X to the mon folder on drive Y, comparing all the files already in the mon folder and copying any files that have changed from drive X. Then similarly for the other working days of the week. I basically want 5 days worth of backups on drive Y of drive X.
What would be the best program to use for this please? Either backups are setup to be done automatically each evening or have be started manually at the end of the day so that drive Y can be taken offsite after backup has completed.
What are the best options for me to do either one of these backups methods please?

Thanks all.
 
Is it out of the question to have a full backup for each day?

I can write you a script that would create..

Folder called

Y:\2015-11-12

(Created on the day).

When it finds a folder over 7 days old, it will delete that folder.

So you would end up with 7 days worth of full backups.

The full backup option is if i leave the backup to run overnight. However, if the nas will be removed at the end of the day to be taken offsite.. a full backup will take far too long, hence a sync option would be faster (i think)

Thanks i will check the suggested options out. Would cobian backup work/be able to do the task i want?

Thanks again guys :)
