Hi, I have been looking for a means of formalising my backup
procedures. At the moment on my USB 500Tb Backup drive I have three

Can you tell me where you bought your 500TB USB drive please? :)
Oops- I guess that should be 0.5 Terabyte or 500GB - from Argos!
While this may not be the full answer to your problem I have found
using Luckybackup a very useful program for sorting out my backups (at
least to the point of backing up what I want). Luckybackup is
basically a GUI for rsync and I have used it simply for that purpose.
I constructed a backup I want in luckybackup and then once I am happy
it is backing up what I want I copy the rsync output into a script and
then just run it as a cron job ( I used scheduledtask to setup the
cron job).
That's what I want to end up with, but as I am not so disciplined to be
able to connect the backup drive for a specific time, I will just run
the script when I want to.
