I set up on PCI a test robocopy script that should automatically copy the folder 'C:\Users\tama3\Dropbox\PCI\robocopy_test' to the NAS folder '\group\tama300\MIR' everyday at 2 in the morning.
I wrote a small script 'robocopy_test' saved on pc desktop and set up a recurring task from windows task scheduler 'Robocopy script'
I'll play a bit with it during this week and if everything goes smoothly I'll set up the back-up of PCI and BIGFOOT pc.
The initial version did not work so I had to modify the file (the 'robocopy_test.bat' on PCI pc desktop).
It is working properly so I set up the daily back-up of the dropbox to the NAS BIGFOOT folder.
I used the following parameters :
/e : copy folders and sub-folders
/copy:DATSO : copy data, attributes, timestamps, security and ower infos of all files
/r:5 : retry 5 times to run
/w:5 : wait 5s before new trial
/MT:64 : multi-thread copy
/tee : display output in console (maybe can be erased for the automatic back-up)
/log+:Z:\group\tama300\MIR\Shareslog_ShareName_%date:~-10,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~-4,4%.txt : create daily log file
/v : verbose
This night it took roughly 2h to perform this automatic back-up.
There is also now /purge option that will remove deleted files from the source folders.
I removed the /v and /tee options.
As the C directory of PCI PC is full I moved the Dropbox folder to the D directory.
I modified the robocopy script accordingly.
Don't forget to update the saving folder for all PCI labview scripts to avoid crash.
