Title: Prehistoric behavior
Post by: Magnum on November 26, 2011, 12:09:33 AM
Worked my first day in retail last night at midnight, Black Friday.  :bdg

We had about 300 people outside waiting.

Some of them went running thru our store.
Guess they thought we might run out of some items.  :dazzled:

Life  rarely has dull moments.

Has anyone used Todo backup ?

It has differential backup which I have been looking for.

Here's a prehistoric suggestion.. :bdg

1. Open a command prompt
2. Type "xcopy /?"
3. Create some dummy folders with dummy files, and have a play with the different options
4. Create a .bat file containing the commands necessary to do the backup as you require
5. Add the bat file to task scheduler

I already use a backup batch file.
