I have a number of clients who have 2-5 pc’s and whose businesses depend on their pc data. I want to offer an excellent backup methodology to these clients.
So far: love USB Hard Drives as backup media.Hate tape, as the purpose of backing up is to provide a fast, reliable means of RESTORING data should it be needed. And tape ain’t fast.
We’re OK with using scheduled Windows Scripts to prompt the user to load the right removable drive (catchily named “Monday”, “Tuesday”, …), copy specified folders onto the removable drive, write a log, and remind the user to take the backup offsite.
But what we don’t have yet is a nice interface to allow the user a graphical selection of folders/files to back up. Is there a Scripting genius out there who can let me know how to reference an ActiveX control that will display a tree view of folders & files, allow the user to check or uncheck any file or folder, and return a string of file and folder names???
Many thanks
