Need Server Backup software
#1
Does anyone know a hopefully free piece of software than can compare and do differential backups over a network and run on Server 2012?

I need something that will do a mirror copy and not something that will create an image or compressed file basically just automating a copy & paste type of thing

I don't want something i gotta extract or install a program to have access to i want to be able to have a file to file copy so i can put the drive in any computer and have access to the files

Also something i can set to a schedule as the machine will be headless and want to schedule weekly backups

Have you checked out the robocopy command line exe ? It's quite versatile and I use it to mirror my movies, jpg, nfo files to another server.

I'll dig out my script in a while and post it here for you to check on. I also use the built in windows scheduler to run the script.

Cheers

Ok so here are 2 examples. A: would work (in theory) if you are using a network domain. B: I use for 2 Win 7 clients that are not attached to a network domain.

You would run either of these on the machine/client which is receiving the files. (you need to make sure your source folder shares have at least read access allowed for everyone)

A:

robocopy.exe "\\SOURCE SERVER\FOLDER SHARE" "\\DESTINATON SERVER\SOURCE SHARE" /E /MIR /XD /LOG:Backup-LOG.txt


B:
net use S: "\\SOURCE IP ADDRESS\FOLDERSHARE" PASSWORD /user:SOURCE IP ADDRESS\USERNAME

robocopy "S:" "E:\DESTINATON BACKUP FOLDER" /E /MIR /R:10 /W:5 /LOG:E:BAckup-LOG.txt /NFL /NDL

net use S: /d


If you google robocopy you will find a huge amount of info/scripty examples as their are many ways to skin this cat.
