Benoit I is on a distinguished road
Default Back up VB or others
Hey all,

I am looking for a simple way to automate backups. By backup, I mean copying files from my hard drive to a USB stick! I would like to automate the process by creating a small program, in VB 6 if possible since my programing skills are not that great.

The program should start at 11 pm every night and copy D:/Data into E:/Data

I am not interested in compressing! Just copying the files from one place to another.

Does someone would know how to do this?

Thank you for your help!

Benoit

Learn a language, and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do that within a matter of days.

Simple, make a 'spider' and get all the dirs, create the dirs in the USB drive and then spider for files... and copy/paste them.

Make some basic code, maybe we can help you afterwards...
