Create A Custom Backup Script With Windows Robocopy by Britec

Here’s what some switch’s means:

data = source
archive = target
/E = copy all subdirectories even empty ones
/COPYALL = copies all attributes
/Z = copies in restartable mode
/R:3 = retry up to three times
/W:10 = wait10 seconds between retries
/LOG… = log all operations to the specified file
/QUIT = exits the command-line when done
/XO = excludes older files if they already exist on the destination, unless the source has the same file with a newer date

RoboCopy is a part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit
