Robocopy does a lot of what xxcopy does in terms of backing up in clone mode etc.

It's a free download from Microsoft and included in Win7 and Vista I think.

Re: Need a batch file to back up the computer

The problem with Robocopy is as follows:

Robocopy sets attributes on destination folder to system and hidden

Any solution.

It doesn't do that here.

Check your switches, perhaps.

Re: Need a batch file to back up the computer

I am told this problem exists with Win7. Are you using robocopy on
Win7 or WinXP?

My script is as follows:

Regards/Kailash

 <at> echo off
:START

SET robo_path=C:\Windows\System32\Robocopy.exe
SET source_dir=C:\
SET dest_dir=E:\databackup
SET log_fname=C:\Users\XXXXXX\desktop\robocopy.log

REM See the robocopy documentation for what each command does.
REM /COPY:DAT :: COPY file data, attributes, and timestamps
REM /COPYALL :: COPY ALL file info
REM /B :: copy files in Backup mode.
REM /MIR :: MIRror a directory tree
REM /L :: Just list the info, don't actually do it
SET what_to_copy=/COPY:DAT /MIR

REM Exclude some files and directories that include transient data
REM that doesn't need to be copied.
SET exclude_dirs=/XD ".dsl_lib" ".emt" ".if9" "$Recycle.Bin" "boot"
"bootmgr" "Intel" "recycled" "MSOCache" "PerfLogs" "ProgramData"
"Recovery" "ssm" "SwSetup" "Temp" "Windows" "BGInfo" "Unzipped" "Flex"
SET exclude_files=/XF *.bak *.tmp *.lock *.swp *.sys ntuser.dat*
index.dat usrclass.dat desktop.ini

There is a practical problem. If I remove my laptop from docking
station and the backup is running, the above command will not be
executed.

Re: Need a batch file to back up the computer

SET exclude_dirs=/XD ".dsl_lib" ".emt" ".if9" ".gf42" "$Recycle.Bin" "boot"

SET exclude_files=/XF *.bak *.bakx *.tmp *.lock *.swp *.sys *.log
*TIME_STEPPING.RES* Thumbs.db ntuser.dat* index.dat* usrclass.dat
desktop.ini

/XD and /XF lists are growing.

Can you tell me how I put them in a separate file and use that file here?

Kailash

If you remove your device while a backup is running you will have a problem anyway. :-D
