Folder copy / backup software

allllec · 18 Jul 2007 at 12:12

Hi,

well im on vista now so i cant use my version of ghost which is a tad ghay. however i wouldn't use it anyway because vista install is now bigger than my backup media. (xp used to backup to under 10gb =[ ) anyway.

what im looking for is a program that will copy selected folders to another location on a schedule.. the reason i want to copy the folders is that way if i do have to reinstall or whatever i can just copy and paste it all over in windows no need to install the software again... also must be a free..

if all else fails i will write myself a lot of bat files but its just a lot of effort id rather use an application lol.

SyncToy works well, shame it doesnt have a schedule thing on it thou - any ideas on exactly how i could set it up as a schedule task?

It does but what to i tell it to run? becuase if i just tell it to run the exe its just gonna open it isnt it - i will look around and see if it has command line support or anything
