RE: It finally happened to me
I have a computer I use for movies, music and guitar VST "pedals" hooked up to my amp so it is always on. Every 2 years I buy the biggest USB external I can get for 80$, move the old external data to it, and hook it up to this computer to use as a backup of all the computers in the house.
All my real data I care about is always in specific locations that I decide. I just run robocopy batch jobs.
I don't give a shit about game saves, and every Microsoft "My Bullshit" folder is emtpy.
The old external I usually pull from its enclosure and put into the rotation as a game drive.
Robocopy is base windows software, add it to the scheduler:
robocopy.exe C:\source\foo \\server\shareddrive\destination\foo /MIR /w:2 /TEE /LOG:D:\robocopy_batch\robocopy.log
pause
