Powershell script to take backups on USB Drive.

 

Hi,

For one of my friend i was working on a backup Script. He want to take his backup to a USB Drive.

First time i thought that it is going to be easy , but found some glitches but fixed them later using "BING" :o) .

Download the Script from this link : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17858935/USB_Backup_Community.zip

This script is simple.

1. Check for any USB DISK attached { for now it works only with one USB attached"
2. If the USB disk in attached,after that it calculated the total amount of data in the folder specified
1. If the total size of data is Greater Then Free Disk space, it gives you an error
2. If we have more then free space of total amount of data , then it create a folders in USB Drive named as
1. backup_DATE
3. Once data is copied successfully , it open backup Folder

By default it backup only

1. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Desktop
2. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Documents
3. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Music
4. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Pictures
5. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Downloads
6. C:\Users\URSERNAME\Favourites

and i am using Robocopy.exe to take backup.

and i tested this script on windows7 OS with One USB Drive attached and it works for me .
