    Cheap automatic backup for My Documents

    Then use the Robocopy command. Here is the bat file I use to backup my data:

    Code: @Echo. @Echo Backing Up @Echo. @robocopy C:\Users\Administrator\Documents C:\Backup\Documents /MIR /ZB >> log.txt @Echo. @Echo Success! @Pause[/quote] This will only backup files that are new or changed, so after the first backup, it is a lot quicker than recopying every file every time you backup. Also if you delete a file from your documents folder, say because you don't need it anymore, it will be removed from the backup location also.
