A script to automate moving files off C: prior to backup?
I back up my files and system image weekly. I move the recorded TV shows (broadcast TV, nothing illegal) before that from my hard drive onto an external drive. Another drive in the same cabinet does the backup. It saves time and I won't want those files after a disc failure anyway.
It would be cool to be able to program the computer to move those files (but not subfolders) over at, say 11.05 pm in preparation for the midnight backup.
But I'm no programmer. If you can show me how to do it I'll begin learning how to do this kind of thing.
It would be easier to put the recorded TV in a subfolder though I suppose... then no code would have to be written to ignore subfolders, right?
Any arrows pointing to easy-to-understand external pages on scripting, the language, would be appreciated too.
