Daily Incremental Backup

thank you - lastly, do we know if there are tools that perform incrementals both?

AS it hasn't apparently been mentioned, Windows' own File History (Settings>Update>Backup) does incremental backups at the interval of your choosing, to avoid over-writes it appends a date-time to each file name. It only copies new/changed files, and restoring is simple from a rt-clcik in Explorer. The files can also be copied directly from the store (then you have to deal with the tweaked name). I think its brilliant!

Facinating! Do you youself use this method?

I am most interested to learn from others their input to this method. Peoples?

oh yes, and have recommended it and set it up for non-techie friends. I can't imagine anything simpler. In my case its belt and braces, as I also use a simple Xcopy script that has hardly changed in the last 17 years.

awesome (consider me another non-techie friend ). I hope you would be open to contributing your process to the site's Tutorial section, unless one is already out there somewhere. thank you.

I don't think a few xcopy lines in a batch file warrant publication!
