lacie back up programme
#1
i have a lacie drive which i back up my large and varied "my docs" folder to once a week.
so far ive been creating a folder on the drive and calling it the date of the back up- so i have a few folders with that days back up in them-is there a way of automatically overwritting the old folders with a new info rather than recopying the entire folder each back up?
simple terms only please!

Best thing to do is write a simple batch file.
Copy the following lines into notepad and save it as copy.bat
where x is equal to Lacie drive letter.
@echo off
xcopy "c:\path to my docs folder\*.* x:\MYDOC\ /E/C/F"
Double click on the copy.bat and this should automate your process.
You could go one step further and add this to the windows scheduler to run as often as you want.
