Windows Backup Script

[n30cortex]

Hey guys

 

i'm working as an IT-System Administrator for a company and they needed a "Low-Budget" Backup for their Files.

this is running via a scheduled task everyday at 9pm on a server

 

If you got some question u can feel free to ask me :3

 

i thought i could share the script (reduced to basic) for your computers

Full script is made with PSVersion 5.1.14409.1018  

# Full DAILY Backupscript with 7 Days to keep

#region initializing
# You can use this here if you need to place the files on a NAS / Server
net use A: /d /y
net use A: \\path\to\backup\folder /user:username password
#endregion initializing
