This article gives a general outline for implementing backup and restoration of select files and folders from your client machines to a network share, and vice-versa.
Problem
Patrons have a need to back up and restore data and preferences for games and other applications. With a diskless boot solution, this data is lost when the computer is rebooted.
Solution
Implement a functionality similar to "Roaming Profiles", in a more limited respect, which will back up and restore some files and folders to alleviate this issue.
NOTE:
File and folder locations (including locally and on your network) will need to be modified to suit your needs.
These scripts are provided as-is, and you will need to modify them to back up and restore the files or folders you require.
1. Create your scripts, as identified below, and execute them from admin mode to confirm their operation. These scripts can be stored anywhere on the client machine.
