Windows 2000 Backing up user profile to the network drive.

We are trying to do it with a script.

xcopy /y /c /s /x /h /v /i user_path backup_path 1>>c:\UserProfLog.txt
2>&1

Of course, you could use NTBackup.

What sort of help did you need?

We have apporx 250 uses who we have spoiled with their
personal desktop and favorites.

I would like a script to schedule to run and back this
directories to their personal network folder.


Ex. copy c:\documents and settings\???username???
\desktop\*.* H:\archive\desktop\*.*

example of the script I tried:


On Error Resume Next
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("H:\Archive")
Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFolder "C:\Documents and
Settings\" , "H:\archive\" , OverWriteFiles

Here is a sample of the script I am trying

On Error Resume Next
Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("H:\Archive")
Const OverwriteExisting = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\Documents and
Settings\objItem.UserName\favorites\*.*" , "H:\archive\" ,
OverwriteExisting

Another option - why not just use roaming profiles, so everything is stored
on the server, and gets backed up there? Workstation backups stink, if you
ask me. Just keep the profiles small - no items stored on the HD, redirect
My Documents to the user's home directory, etc... and you're good to go.
