Hi,

I have a file server and all users data saved in data folder as follows

UserData (this folder has no file)
|
---user1 (this folder has files and subfolders)
|
---user2 (this folder has files and subfolders)

I want to create a schedule to backup all users data only include MS Word
and Excel files using NTBackup wizard or command line.

Show me a script example is desired

Thanks advance

Jonathan

I don't have that answer offhand. But have you considered just using
XCOPY to copy the files you desire to an alternate location, then
backing all of it up?

Hi,

The on-line help for NTBackup states that it does not support wildcard
file backups. You can, however, configure it to exclude certain types of
files from backup. Go to Tools | Options and choose the Exclude Files tab.

HTH,

Bill

Hi,

there are many many types of files in file server

I only want to backup .doc and .xls files

so exclude every type of files is difficult
