Hi Sorry to jump on this post, would it be possible to script this even if the Desktop and Docments folders are re-directed. I can see this being very useful for server migrations to take backups

Hello @Jimmy ,

I tried it but encountered an error where the destination is not accessible (im using FTP server as my backup destination). Also, the .lst file is not loaded by the program? When I open the Cobian User Interface, i didn’t see the List there. Also, can you please help me create a script for cbEngine.ini? Attached are my configurations. NOTE: I save it as .txt as I can’t attach .lst and .ini here.

Regards,

The Microsoft User State Migration Tool (USMT) is a good place to start with this if you do not have a preference for tools. A script to download USMT, run it with the generated options file and then back up the saved information is the route I’d look at.

I say this as it is the recommended Microsoft way of doing it, and allows you to transport the information from OS versions too.

Hope the suggestion helps.
