I am looking for a way to do a weekly (M, Tue, Wed, Thur, FRi, Sun) schedule for Robocopy gui and Richcopy gui for backups of data, permissions to a network server.
I would also like a way to do a differential backup after the first backup is created.
Please provide exact steps as I am new to these programs.

create a simple batch file (a text file saved as *.bat). set what needs to be copied using xcopy or robocopy. eg:
xcopy [source location] [destination location] /s (includes subdirectories) /v (verifies that the file actually copies ok) /d (overwrites updated and new files but leaves ones already there).
Then using the scheduler gui (start \programs \accessories), set it to run nightly.
Hope this helps.

simple Windows scheduler and a batch file will help you with the schedule. Not so sure about the differential option. You'd be able to update the files that had changed but I don't think you could create a seperate backup of only the files that have changed, leaving the original file at the backup location.
