Hi,

Can you please help me convert this batch code into procedure?

@echo on

robocopy “%userprofile%\documents” “\scv-s-srv01\Backups%username%\documents” . /COPYALL /XO /XF “default.rdp” “Desktop.ini” /XD “My Pictures” “My Videos” “My Music” /B /E /R:5 /W:3

robocopy “%userprofile%\desktop” “\scv-s-srv01\Backups%username%\desktop” . /COPYALL /XO /XF “default.rdp” “Desktop.ini” /B /E /R:5 /W:3

What I need here is to backup the documents and desktop of the logged on users.

Thank you,

Check out UrBackup. Its a free backup software that will do this for your. Much better than running scripts !!

@dittoit ,

Do i need to install this on every machine? If yes, then it will not work for us because what we need is to schedule the procedure every week without the user’s knowledge.

Its a server and client. It is all controlled from a web interface. No user input required.
