We are currently tryiing to back up our users data files on our servers. Problem is that users do not have hoime directories and not only that most everything that they have created resides on local drive. My directors has come up with a bat file that uses xcopy. But it is a pain in the ... to implement. Requires touchiing all pc's and set up of task. here is what it looks like. I hope someone can make this process easier
code:
echo off
:: CVHP Backup Script FOR USERS.
:: Determine operating system
Echo Backing Up *.doc, *.xls, *.mdb, *.ppt, *.mdb, *.Vsd
Sleep 2
net use h: \\server\username
XCOPY C:*.doc h:\%username%\CFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY D:*.doc h:\%username%\DFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY C:*.xls h:\%username%\CFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY D:*.xls h:\%username%\DFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY C:*.ppt h:\%username%\CFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY D:*.ppt h:\%username%\DFILES\*.* /S /D
XCOPY C:*.mdb h:\%username%\CFILES\*.* /S /D
