Hi,

I was looking for some simple Data Backup solutions, I try few software but they all are paid. But after a long search I have found a free utility from Microsoft known as ROBOCOPY (now inbuilt in Windows7). This ROBOCOPY is command based but the GUI version is also available on Microsoft website.

The Syntax of ROBOCOPY is very simple:

ROBOCOPY.exe source destinations /MIR

- /MIR is used for mirroring the Data

For example

Robocopy.exe c:\data d:\Backup /MIR   

The above command will mirror the data in c:\data with d:\Backup

you can also exclude the files to being copied, for that you need to use /XF (exclude files) switch.

How to use /XF

For example if you want to exclude mp3, avi files to copy then syntax is :

Robocopy.exe c:\data d:\Backup /MIR /XF *.mp3 /XF *.avi

Hope this will helps you.......
