Backup Script with Machine Name

[InspireICT]

Does anyone have a working backup script that can be used to create a folder on the server based on machine name (if it doent already exist) and backup selected folders there, its for some netbooks that are off the domain but we would still like to backup the local documents to a network share periodically.

 

Thanks

what is the OS on the netbooks?

install a linux box and install BackupPC. it will do what you want from a web front end.

Thanks not sure If im doing some wrong though if I edit the script as below:

 

ROBOCOPY %USERPROFILE% \\server\Public\%COMPUTERNAME% /MIR /XD dirs %USERPROFILE%\AppData "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data" "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings" /XJD /R:0 /W:0

 

Then its coming with errors, is because Im running it on XP and not a 7 machine maybe?

ifts its xp you need to download robocopy iirc its part of the 2003 serer admin junk but im sure if you google it you will find then just copy to c:\windows you may even be able to pinch the exe file from a win7 pc
