Hey Guys,
I have a number of Teky Questions, so I thought I would break them down into a number of short threads.
So first up, I'm looking to implement a rough a ready backup system on my PC - here are my requirements:
I need two solutions -
Once which I can run on window 7 or 8 PC
That can copy bunch of files from folder structure A to folder structure B
That can run on nightly basis.
That subsequent times I run program / script that it will remove any deleted files from folder structure A from Structure B and only copy files which have changed. I.e. Mirroring the directories.
To be able to explore the tree structure B in windows explorer.
The second solution:
Something that can safely backup a MYSQL database and restore it. Ideally with time stamped backups. I.e. 1 day ago, 3 days, 1 week.
I'm happy if the solutions involve getting dirty with scripting / batch files, / windows scripting host.
I would rather not have to install anything like Cygwin or any boated backup software (ideally).
I'm really looking for consensus - as to which is the right direction to go in.
Cheers
