Backup Script

[Guest]

Currently I have a backup script that uses a batch file and robocopy to copy data from one drive (on a laptop) to another drive (on a server). I used autoit to make it into a single exe.

Now our network engineers have changed some things around and I need to split up the backup.

All files except for PST files need to go to location 1. And only PST files need to go to location 2.

I know how to do the backup for location 1 in robocopy with no problems. However, I'm not sure how to use robocopy only on PST files for location 2.

Would there be any way to search a drive for PST files and copy them to another drive using autoit?

**Is it possible to have it compress it to a zip file while its copying it to the server?

Thanks in advance.

use FileFindFirstFile () and FileFindNextFile() to search the drive for *.PST files. See help file samples. Then use the 7zip DLL (and the UDF) to compress the PST file.

After that use FileCopy() to copy the file to the server.
