How do I create an automated way to back up a directory every night for 30 days on windows server 2003 ?

Question

How do I create an automated way to back up a specific directory onto an external hard drive every night for 30 days (without overwriting the previous backup from the night before!) on windows server 2003 ?

Answer 1

The easiest way of doing it is to create a batch file that does the backup copy process and run it through the task scheduler. Go to control panel, Scheduled Tasks, and create the task to open the batch file. Another option would be to run the Windows backup wizard from that same Task Scheduler. Since you want it to recreate a new copy every night I would recommend to create the batch file to do it for you pragmatically.

Hope this helps some
