Backup files from Source {path/folder} to Target {path/folder}
For Instance:
Assuming you have a folder name shared-docs located in the C:\
C:\shared-docs and you want to make an exact backup copy to an external hard drive.
NetstairBackopy.exe will do it for you with no knowledge of windows command or windows fileExplorer
All you need to do is modify the mirrorfiledb.xml following the sample with notepad
Sourcepath = the source path/folder of your files or folder that you would like to exact copy.
Targetpath = the target path/folder where you like make the exact copy.
Logfilepath = {path/folder/logfilename.txt} of your result log file.
mirrorfiledb.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<archives>
<Backup>
<Sourcepath>C:\admin-docs</Sourcepath>
<Targetpath>D:\Archives\admin-docs</Targetpath>
<Logfilepath>D:\Archives\AdminLog.txt</Logfilepath>
</Backup>
<Backup>
<Sourcepath>C:\shared-docs</Sourcepath>
<Targetpath>D:\Archives\shared-docs</Targetpath>
<Logfilepath>D:\Archives\SharedLog.txt</Logfilepath>
</Backup>
<Backup>
