Revision history [back]

I am looking for a good way to automatically backup my modeling files on an ongoing or daily basis. Since it is typically best practice to save modeling files to the C drive instead of a server (or server-like backup utility like we use), manual copy-to-server type backups tend not to work as consistently..

Ideally, what I'm looking for is a backup utility that will automatically copy over the folder structure along with the files inside with the .cab extension. The utility would copy these files/folder either to another folder on my C drive that I can have backed up by my current utility OR it could backup directly to the cloud.

We have a strong preference to IGNORE the results files which are huge and can be easily reproduced. Most backup utilities I've seen have the ability to EXCLUDE specific file extensions.. However, I'd like to only INCLUDE specific extensions (eg .cab as mentioned before for IES-VE projects, or .cibd16(x) for CBECC-Com files, etc.)

Thanks for sharing any backup methods that are working for you.
