Copy entire C:\ contents
Posted: 20 Mar 2021 08:12
Because my regular backup software on this Win 10 PC is suddenly not working I'd be very grateful if someone could suggest a reliable batch file I can use until I get it fixed please?
I could do this in File Explorer but, although I'm no programmer, I suspect a batch would be quicker and safer?
I want to copy the entire contents of my OS (SSD) file C: to D:\2ndCopyCtoDDaily, about 160 GB, preserving all folder names. As the volumes are large I want to use the existing destination.
Even better, unless it's too complicated, I'd like to exclude my 50GB Dropbox folder, C:\Users\Terry\Dropbox\, as I have managed to keep that working in Second Copy.
