Robocopy synchronised backups

If you get the "2003ResKit" for windowsXP - from microsoft.com, youll find a tool called "robocopy.exe".

It is used to mirror/backup folders from HDD to USB ( or other hard devices ) ...

i prefer local backups over internet dropBoxes because one of my ISP managed to leak edited photos i made to the public once ( one showing me slayed to death ) - oh, they where on the server but not on the website ...

 

Anyways,

if you give your USB drive a fixed drive letter ( in computer administration - data drives ) you can mirror folders and dont loose / get a new name for the drive on next boot ... command line is like :

 

C:\XPTools\Tools\2003ResKit\RoboCopy.exe "C:\DevLab01\Le23DevDemo\AssetData" "Z:\back_projects\AssetData" /MIR

 

I suggest to give it a real name and dont let the system call it "1" or the ms media player might synchronize it to death while confusing USB drives with Mp3 players. :)

 

suggestions ?
