Hello
I wish to run a script once a week that backs up data on my server to a NAS drive. I wish for the NAS drive to be a complete mirror of the server i.e. if a file is deleted from the server, it gets deleted from the NAS at time of initiating the backup.
I have assumed the most efficient way to do this is create a Robocopy script and assign it to run via Task Scheduler on the server.
Assuming so, I have created the following .cmd script
robocopy "\\SERVER\Temp" "\\STORAGE\Temp" /E /PURGE /V /NP /R:10 /W:30
robocopy "\\SERVER\ycambg" "\\STORAGE\ycambg" /E /PURGE /V /NP /R:10 /W:30
... and so on for each folder I wish to back up.
I've just undertaken a dummy run of this script and set it to run via task scheduler. All appears to work as planned.
This is the first time I've played with such a thing. Can anyone more experienced than I confirm this is an acceptable way of achieving my goal, have I overlooked something or are there any more efficient alternatives?
Thanks for your time,
Mike
