backup-script

This is a script for a backup of my D drive where all my data resides.

do-backup.cmd

The actual backup script, can be used with parameters. It is a wrapper to robocopy with some parameters that mirrors the source content to a destination folder.

It also creates a log file (robocopy output) and an info file, especially useful when running as a scheduled task to view the last run.

Usage:

do-backup.cmd SOURCE DESTINATION NAME [FILTER] [PARAMS]

• SOURCE: The source directory that shall be used to backup.
• DESTINATION: The destination directory where the SOURCE content will be mirrored to.
• NAME: Name of the backup job, used for log files and info files.
• FILTER: Optional: file filter to use. If omitted, . is used.
• PARAMS: Optional: pass through additional parameters to robocopy.

start-backup.cmd

Entry point for a scheduled-task to backup my D drive to an F drive as well as a NAS share.

Usage:

start-backup.cmd

Just calling the script directly. This script is probably just useful on my own machine :-)
