I would like to pull some Access database files from the network drives (in total perhaps 200MB) and if possible auto-zip them, with automatic naming containing the date of the backup.
I had a look at the Windows Backup utility, but it only allows there to be a single backup, and if I don’t manually remove and rename the last one it’ll overwrite/amend it, not suited!
Googling hasn’t given many results (might be using the wrong terms), and would prefer to use something with a recommendation!
Requires a little extra fiddling to do the auto naming but very much possible.
Use it daily to back up my changed docs to another folder where I burn to disk weekly.
Works over a network, so I intend to use it to sync my laptop and PC document folders daily as well.
Free version is in bottom right. Doesn’t nag you to upgrade either.
I wrote a C++ program to do my rename. Since I had the task scheduler
starting the backup at 1:00 AM, I just scheduled my application to start at 11:00 PM.
I can make the source code available if you are interested.
I haven’t followed Drezha’s url. His solution is probably better.
Speedo I have a app that does just that. Or you can look for RAPID Backup.
Just PM with your EMAIL address and I’ll forward over a zip file. http://www.step2000.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=1 to see the Interface the new version has Zip Now support.
