Robocopy is very nice but has no delta compression functionality. For things like file server migrations (where I want to preserve ACLs, times, etc) robocopy is my go-to tool. I've used the cwRsync[0] binary distribution of rsync on Windows for backups. I found it worked very well for simple file backups. I never did get around to trying to combine it with Volume Shadow Copy to make consistent backups of the registry and applications like Microsoft SQL Server. (I wouldn't expect to get a bootable restore from such a backup, though.) [0] https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync
