Robocopy

[munruss]

Hey everyone! I am attempting to create a batch file to copy backed up files from one drive to another. I would like to batch file to run as a scheduled task. Here are the issues I am having:

1) The batch file does not run under a schedule task in Windows 7 Pro.
2) When I run the batch file manually, the batch file deleted other folders in the directory.

Here is the batch file:
robocopy S:\Backups E:\Backups\Laptop\LAPTOP\Nadia Pictures /e /mir /np /log:backup_log.txt

I would like my batch file to over write existing files in the directory and run as a schedule task.

I am using EaseUS TODO backup software, so all that is being copied are .PBD files. I'm using Robocopy to copy the .PBD files from a network directory to an external hard drive.

Thank you very much.

Moved to Software for Windows.

The MIR switch deletes everything in the destination that does not exist in the source. That's a useful switch, but it can be dangerous. You probably don't want to use that.

I suggest you try out puresync. It's a free utility that can run on a schedule and do exactly what you are asking.
