Hello!

I'm short before a mental crash.

Try to get solution for backing up a directory for hours now.


My idea was, to backup the content of a directory one time a day
(possibly incremental (and perhaps also packed)) and send it to an
e-mail-address.

I use Windows XP Proffesionell and have installed the "smtp-service".


How can I manage do do that?



Hallo!

Bin gerade halb am Verzweifeln.

Versuche jetzt schon einige Stunden, zu einer Lösung für das Backup
eines Verzeichnisses zu kommen.


Meine Idee war, den Inhalt des Verzeichnisses einmal täglich
(möglicherweise als inkrementelles Backup (möglicherweise auch gepackt))
automatisch als E-Mail zu versenden.


Ich verwende Windows XP Professionell und habe den "SMTP-Dienst"
intstalliert.


Wie mache ich das?

Hello (Hallo) Sebastian,

Most mail servers have limits on the size of files attached to email.
Email was not designed for large file transfers, and there is no error
checking to be sure the email will arrive correctly. Check with your
ISP (Internet Service Provider) to see if they provide personal web
space. There are a number of online storage sites on the internet,
that you can use to store backup copies of directories.

The Last time I checked, these are FREE:

http://www.megashares.com/index.php (10GB maximum file size)
http://www.adrive.com/ ( 2GB max file size)
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ ( 1GB max file size)
http://www.driveway.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.spread-it.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://zshare.net/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.zupload.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.filefactory.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.rapidupload.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.sendspace.com/ (300MB max file size)

HTH. (Hope This Helps.

Buy yourself an external drive; backup or copy data to that

Hello Richard!

At the moment I use Yahoo-Mail and there is unlimited Mail-Space and 20
MB attachment size. Nevertheless I only need a attachment size at
around 3 MB (not incremental and not compressed).

But tnx 4 the adresses! Do u have a ready2use-solution to do that backup
of the directory daily automatically within Windows?

Hello Sebastian,

You are welcome. I am sorry, I do not have a ready solution. There may be a
way to write a Batch file to copy specific files to another directory, and
then use Windows Task Scheduler to start the batch file daily, but I do not
know of a way to automatically attach a file to email and send it. A batch
file can be used with the built in command line "ntbackup" program. The
Backup utility on the Start menu includes the ability to schedule backups.
Start> (all)Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Backup

In Start> Help and Support, "Set search options" to 40 results, and then use
"backup" as the search term. I got 38 results. There may be some information
there that is of use to you. I use WinZip to package multiple files. It
includes some kind of ability to send email, but I have never used that.

HTH. (Hope This Helps.
