I have used Robocopy to backup files from my home server for years. It's a simple /MIR
switch.
However, what I'd like to do is not only update the destination folder, but also copy those same new files to a new folder (with a date time stamp) so I can keep a history of the files that were new and/or changed so I can reference them later if needed.
So basically I want it to backup my files as normal with the /MIR switch (and others for logging, etc). But the same files that are modified and copied over are also copied to another folder with a date stamp time the backup was run (i.e. 'backup-13Jan2010_213027').
My only thought on doing this was to take the log file of folders and files generated and extract the file and folder names and then have it copy those files over. But my skills are lacking to do such a thing.
Maybe there is a simpler way to do this? But I'd prefer to just stick with Robocopy if I can, and can be executed through a command line.
Thanks for any help.
