SyncBackPro (commercial) • Re: Rolling Copies?

Here is a batch file that I wrote years ago to keep rolling copies of Acronis image file backups. This keeps 18 days and because it's using 'move' commands vs. copy it takes just a few moments to run on an external drive, moving 200+ Gb of backup image files prior to running an Acronis image backup of my pc. My pc is either partitioned into separate drives or have physically different drives for the boot & data drives. I use Acronis to make an image backup of the boot drive and I use SyncBackPro to mirror my data to external drives and the cloud. I'm sure there are people that can script this better but this has worked well for me. Please feel free to modify it for your own purposes.
