The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Robocopy Script to copy Data

Asked by naughtynat in DriveCopy, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Robocopy, NAS

Hi

Current setup is NAS Box onsite (N4100Pro) and we use 2x1TB NAS Lacie boxes to backup our main unit and take offsite and rotate weekly.
We are using Shadowcraft Storageprotect to image 4-5 PCs on the network & run daily incrementals. I would image that the total amount of data that would be created would be around 300GB.

I want to setup a robocopy script to do the follow:

Copy from N4100 to Lacie. There are 3 folders that are used on the N4100 and most scripts seem to have to target 1 Unit then copy that. I am not sure if you can copy 3 at once, or have to have 3 seperate scripts.

Need it to just copy the files.

Need to have a log file of what files have been copied and backed up. There is probably only 30-40 files so this wont be too large.

What I am wondering is if I can setup the backup so this can be run from any machine? IE Save the robocopy.exe to the NAS and also setup the backup script so it can be run from any computer. If this isnt possible then that is okay as well - mainly just after this as there is about 10 computers but basically no full time staff with most people working 2-3 days per week. (And would need the log file to be save to main NAS box as well).

I have attached something that I have been using, but this has been pinched and mixed up the best I can.

One of the things that you can not see from this script while it is running is what files are getting backed up and how far thru. Not sure if this is possible or not - just with some files that are 100GB+ often not sure if they have stalled or not in the backup
