Looking for a certain kind of Backup Software...

[DemonTraitor]

I am after some software that will allow me to do a direct copy of selected folders throughout my system and put them in another location complete with exact file structure, without any encryption or compression.

Basically, I want to back up to Google Drive, but only certain folders, and I don't want these folders sync'd in real time, as I want them to go back to if needed...

All I have found is software that allows you to select folders, but puts those lone folders in the backup, which is useless as you have no idea where they have come from.

I hope I don't have to write one, or write a script...

Any suggestion?

Thanks. Demon.

I use and find syncovery for all this sort thing absolutely fantastic program very useful although not free around 50 Euro's for full package. Probably the most useful utility program I use every day
I wouldn't be without it saves using xcopy/robocopy

Bvckup or Duplicati will do this, if it doesn't; you're overcomplicating this

I've just tried BVCkup and it does not keep folder structure :|

another one that does not keep folder structures and just copies what's in the folders you select. I need the full folder structure so the destination has all the folders down to the root folder. Installing Visual Studio now to write my own haha

can't beat a batch file and robocopy

but a pain if you want to add/remove folders to be backed up haha

Found FBackup, which is free, but it's free and has a startup screen thing... looks perfect though

SyncToy should do this.

Used SyncToy for years, but does not keep the folder stratucture
