Windows - Automatic copying of a backup file



Issue


I want to set up a system for automatic backup.
  • The first phase is managed by a backup software that creates a backup file in a folder like C\**\accounting\BACKUP\.
  • Once this is done, I want to have an automatic copy the contents of folder to another folder that is located on a PC on the network.

Solution

  • Make use of Robocopy, the command line utility from microsoft.
  • It is very simple to use, create a .bat file as below:
    • robocopy.exe \\Source directory \\Target directory / mir 
  • Put in the file in the same folder as robocopy ..

Thanks to mecdu35 for this tip.
