          Task Scheduler and Robocopy were a lot trickier to set up than a simple BAT file. Got it to work but…

              @Mr.:

              cygwin + rsync?

              Was one of the solutions I was looking at. A rsync client looks pretty OK to setup in Windows but a server? I gotta look more into that.

              Besides robocopy is take a ETERNITY to complete 2.22TB started on Friday at 10PM is still running Sunday at 4PM….

                Robocopy is MS's interpretation of 'automation' ( ;D ;D ;D ) (why copy what hasn't changed?).

                From your 3 targets, why do you need to install an rsync server? If you have a common NAS (Syno, Qnap, FreeNAS), rsync server is built in, and for the USB-disk you don't need a server. You can simple rsync source target, e.g::

                rsync: c:\docs e:\docs (plus the switches of course, which I don't know by head  ;D ).
