The script will copy 6 specific file types (DOC XLS PPT TXT MDB MSG) to a server folder and only copy over the files that are newer than those on the server. Progress bar and results at the end of it. A text file is created as well with results as to what files were copied over and when it was done.

Thanks to all the help I received here. I tried to put in a LOT of notes so that you could actually read it and understand the process. That way if you can improve it then it won't be so hard to think through. :lmao:

Sounds like a great tool tazdev !

As I'm unable to test your script, I have to ask you if you have

made it possible to set up a schedule for when it should back up the files..

If not, then this would be a great addition..

I would think with Microsoft Scheduler in Windows you could set it to run at a specific time. I would like to change the Progress Bar to have a cancel button on it. I am going to work on that I just haven't looked at it long enough to figure out how to set it up. :lmao:

I also want to change the start so that it will backup the folder you specify and perhaps the filetypes. But at that point why not just use Explorer.

Script looks great to me, just what I wanted. But when I go to the website , I get just one long line of coding. Do you have an example with CRLF in it ?

Just right click on his link and choose "save as", and it will be a perfect .au3 file you can then open! :)
