I use a couple of RoboCopy scripts in Windows 7 to copy from C:\Folder\Books to U:\Archive\Books. The first simply lists what needs to be backed up, (Books-List.bat), and the second does the actual backup, (Books-Run.bat). I use the list version simply to check that there is enough room on my backup device and if there is then I use Books-Run.

Books-List.bat

Code:

ROBOCOPY C:\Folders\Books U:\Archive\Books /s /e /l /xx /ndl /np /ns /log:C:\Folders\Backup\Logs\Books.log
C:\Folders\Backup\Logs\Books.log

Books-Run.bat

Code:

ROBOCOPY C:\Folders\Books U:\Archive\Books /s /e /xx /ndl /np /ns /log:C:\Folders\Backup\Logs\Books.log /tee
C:\Folders\Backup\Logs\Books.log

You could of course simply schedule the Book-Run version, (taking out the second line which outputs to screen), and inspect the log file at your convenience.
