Backing up Windows files with Robocopy
This assumes backing up a shared folder on a network to a local external HDD.
PowerShell Commands
net use \\192.168.xxx.xxx /delete
net use \\192.168.xxx.xxx /user:"user" "pass"
$GetDate = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd"
robocopy "\\192.168.xxx.xxx\folder" "D:\backup" /LOG+:"D:\log\backup-log_"$GetDate".log" /s /e /XD "trashbox" /XF *.tmp /TEE /NP /R:3 /W:60
net use \\192.168.xxx.xxx /delete
The advantage of using robocopy is that it only copies changed files and allows for advanced settings such as retries.
I have summarized the knowledge gained from two and a half years of daily home development! Please take a look if you are interested.
