Re: Automatic backups of clients documents

Brendon,
you can accomplish this fairly easily by leveraging redirection of "My
Documents" to a network share and Shadow Copies functionality

Hi Everyone

Not sure if this is really the correct forum for this question but hoping
some people might have some ideas.
We received the following query from a client of ours:

"I was enquiring if AD could not force a backup of the users "My Document"
folder on a Wednesday and Friday to the file server to each of the users
personal folders. I would like to automate this function and not leave the
responsibility to the users."

They want the profiles to remain local so roaming profiles is out of the
question. They want only the "My Documents" backed up and only on
Wednesday
and Friday to ensure they can roll back.

The closest solution I can come up with is writing some kind of script
that
runs the backup (Easy) but is there some way to schedule the script? A
collegue suggested installing RoboCopy as an MSI and then writing a logon
script to run incremental backups but this is still not ideal.

Suggestions would be most welcome

Thanks
