If only you had written this article a year and a half ago. :-P

Great work Golden.

For years I've used an xcopy replacement utility called xxcopy and it functions a lot like Robocopy. It's /clone switch is a lot like Robocopy's /MIR switch.

One thing it does that, as far as I can tell, Robocopy can't, is create destination folder names based on the date. For instance, tonight's incremental backup would be in a folder called 2012-03-29.

With Robocopy in a batch file I've been deleting folders named for the weekday and having them recreated in the destination when Robocopy runs. As in...

:mon
rmdir x:\backup\Daily\1-Monday\ /S /Q
robocopy d:\shared x:\backup\Daily\1-Monday [long list of switches]

The batch file starts by testing for the day of the week and then skips to the part of the batch file for that day (as in :mon). I end up with 7 backup folders only containing files that had the archive bit set for that given day.

But I only get seven days, unless I can figure out how to get the task manager to run two batch files on alternating weeks.

Any ideas on how to get incremental backups that go back further than one week?

Hi Golden,

I Need your help with robocopy script.

I have extenal IP hard drive 2 TB each and 4 of them. I want to write a script so It will check if Hardrive is live and copy the data over there. When its copy new data I want to create a new folder with current date like " Backup 12-04-25"

So far this is what i can do in my test.

robocopy "C:\SQL" C:\Backup\ /copy

AT /e /z /v /tee /log:c:backup_log.txt
pause

Can you help?

Thanks,
Arpit

Hi,

OK. You need to let me know what you want backing up, and to where.

The easiest way is to show me some screen capture images of:

1. Your Disk Management with your USB external drive plugged in (so I can see the arrangement of your disks)
2. Windows Explorer showing me the paths and files you want to backup.

See here for help on getting me the information:

Hi All,

I have written a robocopy script to migrate the company I work for from XP to 7 64bit and to do transfers from 7 to 7 for future data back up and restore after reimaging machines.

Like most scripts you can only look at it so long before it starts to run together. Would it be ok to post it here to get another set of eyes on it? It works really well but I just want to make sure I have not left something out or have to much in terms of the switches.

Hello Haus, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sure, it'll be fine to post here if you like. :)

Haus6565 · 28 Apr 2012

Great!

Let me explain a bit what I have it doing first then I'll put it in the next post.
I made it to be an interactive "program" for lack of a better term.
I have distributed it out to my 16 co-workers in 8 different sites around the country as we have have the task of moving 5000 users to Windows 7.

It is launched from a folder containing the .cmd file and robocopy.exe (for portability).
The script opens a command prompt window where you make a task selection. 1-7, 0 to exit.
The options1-2 are direct machine to machine data transfers over the LAN. XP to 7 & 7 to 7.
The options 3-4 are for hard drive pulls from the old machine using a powered USB drive adaptor for data transfer to the new machine.
The options 5-6 are to copy the data to an extrenal USB storage device.
Option 7 restores it from the USB drive.

In it you will see that I have per-converted all XP folders/locations to Windows 7 folder/locations for easier restore.

So to launch it, you just double click the cmd file in a folder with the robocopy.exe in it (for XP).
You then get a prompt asking for UserID, Old computer name, drive letter, depending on the selection.
After that you'll get the idea what happens.
Script in the next post.
