Looking to back up selected folders (music, documents and .torrent files)onto another internal hard drive. hoping for automatic, but one touch (ish) back up will be fine. running vista x86.
any reccomendations? thanks

i've just written a batch file, which is just what i needed. but i'd like to compress the files using winRAR. my current script is

"

@Echo off
:: variables
set drive=F:\Backup
SET dateNtime="%date:~0,2%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~6,6%_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%"
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y



echo ### Backing up Music...
%backupcmd% "E:\Music" "%drive%\%dateNtime%\Music"

echo ### Backing up Favorites...
%backupcmd% "E:\Documents" "%drive%\%dateNtime%\Documents"

echo ### Backing up Torrents...
%backupcmd% "E:\Torrents" %drive%\%dateNtime%\Torrents

echo ### Backing up Pictures...
%backupcmd% "E:\Pictures" %drive%\%dateNtime%\Pictures


echo Backup Complete!
@pause
"

anyone know how i would get winRAR to compress the backup files?
thanks
 
thanks, that sounds a lot better!

any chance anyone could write me a basic robocopy script similar to my old xcopy one, but only backing up new files and then compressing with 7zip, it is confusing me too much. thanks!

i would like to back up E:\Music, E:\Torrents and E:\Pictures all to F:\Backup

haha, its ok, i understand, unfortuantly my xbox has 3red lights, so no GTA for me, probably a good thing as i'd waste time playing and not revising

thanks a lot LeperousDust:)
