    whats the windows equivalent of rsync via cron? (sync c:/users to second drive)


    I want to set up family pc so when it breaks I can just deploy an image and have it up and runnning again

    After investigating mounting c:\users on another drive in the same way as /home in fstab, I decided not to take that route as it looks like windows is not designed to accommodate this ... and headaches.

    So, what I want to do is regularly sync c:\users to another drive

    Then if/when the zombie apocalypse hits and it borks my c:\ drive, I can deploy the image then manually copy all the user-data back from the backup on the secondary drive.

    I would be ok with using some kind of open-source app for this, but would be interested to hear what others recommend

    Pretty underconfident about RAID setups as have used them in the past and had annoyances from them.

    Thoughts?

    Rsync for Windows 10

    Hello,

    I store my photos and some other files in one hard disk. I would like to use another hard disk as backup. Does Microsoft have an equivalent to Rsync for Windows 10?

    Thanks

    WSL - Rsync from Synology NAS to Windows 10

    Hello,

    I have installed WSL and Ubuntu on my Windows 10 computer. It works like a champ.

    I can ssh into my Synology NAS and rsync works.

    I understand how to set the permissions in the rsync command so that they are correct on the NAS but when I have to sync a NAS folder back to the Windows box I am not sure what permissions to apply. If I use the p option in the rsync command as a test when
    syncing to the NAS from the Windows box the user file permissions are RWX, user directory permissions are RWX and group/other are left as ---.

    Is this telling me to set the permissions within the rysnc command as --chmod=Du=rwx,Fu=rwx when syncing NAS to Windows? If not what should I use?

    As a side note when I look at the files on the Windows box via the Ubuntu command line the permissions are listed as rwxrwxrwx for each directory and file.

    Regards,

    Chris

    whats the windows equivalent of rsync via cron? (sync c:/users to second drive)

    Equivalent of "c:\Users\username"

    I know that "C\Users\username" has an equivalent form which looks like "%something%." What goes between the percent signs?

    Thanks.
