Ho Li Qrap! i’ve been backing up recursively! i had less than 20Gig of free space on my 200Gig main drive! what a moron! it’s taken an hour so far to delete the old backups, and it’s not done yet. good fuck! i need to take smarter care of my system. i can’t believe i was backing up backups.
anybody know offhand what the argument is to exclude folders, and what commenting scheme XP likes, in a batch file?
c:
cd “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp”
del /q /s /f *.*
cd “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files”

One reply on “backing up backups”
preface comments with ‘rem’ (remark… yeah it’s dumb) no idea re: ntbackup.exe options. for defrags I use PerfectDisk (fully functional trial version is downloadable, and you can remove and reinstall it after it expires) – works way better than windows defrag.exe my current backup strategy on windows is to use winscp to sftp my important stuff to another machine on my office lan. i was using rsync from cygwin but kinda like the interface of winscp.
