kowalski215 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello everybody, I need your help ;)I do have to find a software that can backup hourly some files (just 3/4 Access Databases, nothing really "large") without deleting the precious backups. It would be great if backups were renamed with date and time (such as "Backup-2015-05-13-15-03-00 or sth like this.)I've never used a backup software for this kind of stuff before and I'm a bit confused!Thanks in advance for your help!

Rivenson Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I do have to find a software that can backup hourly some files (just 3/4 Access Databases, nothing really "large") without deleting the pre v ious backups. It would be great if backups were renamed with date and timeBased on what you need your best bet is Cobian Backup or any software for simple file/archive backup, or sync operations , not entire disk images.I use Cobian myself for scheduled backup of 2-3 files and a folder ... Its very light on resources (you can install it as a service or simple app) dont know ,, about 15-30 MbYou can arrange your backup scheme anyway you want.. Give it a try.... :smartass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If you are an Advanced User - Acronis for backup and Syncovery Pro for file synchronization. If you are not an Advanced User - please ignore my post (it could cause you much grief.) :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks! Which is the lightest one?Lowest footprint is never a factor when contemplating a backup solution simply because most software built for this function come shipped (additionally) with a BootCD (nothing lighter than a BootCD - no?) B)Those who persist in employing an installation, instead - stand the risk of coming to grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Well why do you not create a BAT file. example mybackup.bat and have it copy the 3 or 4 files to whatever Folder you want and then Schedule it to backup that folder to Onedrive or Google plus or to another drive that you have. That would be a simple way to do it. You would even learn hot to write a simple bat file. It would not be a complicated one. Just a suggestion.

kowalski215 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 As far as the "another device" topic is concerned: I'm not worried about losing the files. These files are goona be used by different people at the same time. That's why I need backup: I don't wont to lose data due to contemporary edit. It's a bit crazy, I know LOL.BTW, Acronis is cool, just installed it.SOLVED ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
