[Samba] Re: Samba, rsync and a newbie sorting it out...

[Ulrich Kohlhase]

If security is of no concern, i.e. workstation to Samba server backup in a
LAN, you might consider using tools like "xxcopy". See
http://www.xxcopy.com. If your users permanently map a Samba network share
to say "G:" the freeware version works just fine.

Example batch file for xxcopy:
-------------------------------
@echo off
xxcopy /ec E:\user\data1\ G:\temp\data1\ /clone /YY /ong:\backuplog.txt /PB
xxcopy /ce E:\user\data2\ G:\temp\data2\ /clone /YY /oag:\backuplog.txt /PB

xxcopy uses a lot (!) of command line parameters, which are fairly well
documented:

Good luck,
