Greetings,
In my previous organization when we were using WindowsXP an autoexec.bat file will be triggered every morning when we powered on our desktops and it will backup all the modified files in our My Documents directory to a backup server on the network. This was a life-saver in the event of any hard disk failure of any user in the organization. I would like to do the same for my new organization (I am an IT Auditor) where we use Windows 7. I understand that Windows 7 does not support Autoexec.bat file like the previous versions. I request you to guide me backup the My Documents folder every morning by using command prompt, copy, robocopy and/or powershell. This help will be greatly appreciated.
I created a script with robocopy and I used Task Schedular to run this script when the computer starts. It works fine for backing up a folder from the root of the C
rive. However this does not work for backing up the My Documents folder where it requires administration privileges. I am logged in as a standard user and I can run this bat file only as an administrator. When I power on the computer as an administrator this works but fails when I log in as a standard user. All the staff are standard users and kindly help me to run this batch file at startup for a standard user.
