Have an option where we can add extra folders (via full path) to a backup

Migration should then maybe look in the designated "extra folders" directory that is made and move them over automatically during migration too

Would allow migration in situation where maybe migrating back into Users folder isn't appropriate.

Looking into appending the current date and time in a format that's compatible with folder naming coonventions.

This way if customer returns again, we wouldn't overwrite our existing backup if one exists

The following folders are never to be copied as they are either auto-created by Windows or accounts to be logged into:

• Dropbox*
• Links
• Google Drive*
• OneDrive*
  -Saved Games
• Searches
  -Tracing

Folders with * are only found on units where the account is logged in OR the software installed

Vista and newer work 100%

Vista had junctions to map the old "My Documents" folder

Need to run tests to see if robocopy log will append an existing log, or whether it erases it

Verify if it's possible to confirm the backup size after it's done.

Robocopy does a decent job already, but we should check anyway

rsync - dissapearing files (error code 24) can be ignored as it's caused by trying to move temp files

loglevel 4 - shows more information on warnings
