backup.bat

:: Performs a backup to an external hard drive mapped as D: using RoboCopy
::
:: Handy docs:
:: /E copies subdirectories recursively, including empty ones
:: /ZB restartable, in case of copying problems (usually permission-related or if you are copying to/from network)
:: /LOG useful if you're going to let it run overnight. Mandatory if using multithreaded copy.
:: /MT multithreaded copy. Specify the number of threads. 8 seems fine for copying from SSD over to HDD.
:: /R retries. Attempts to access a file for copying.
:: /W waiting seconds between retries.
:: /XJ excludes junction points, e.g. sym links, both directories and files.
:: /NFL do not log file names.
:: /XD excludes directories.
:: /XF ecludes files.
