Cheap Backup System

After having so much problem with viruses last week I decided it’s time I start doing regular backups, at least of the important data, the stuff that isn’t easy to get back. I realized that if my POS software were to get completely ruined it would take a looong time to restore. Nearly 3000 movies, over 2000 games, all would need to be re-entered into the system. So I went the cheap way and went with a custom flash drive setup. Using a simple batch file I can set it to to create a copy of certain files directly onto the flash drive every time I turn the computer on in the morning.
