This repo houses NodeJS code developed to help with my redundancy file backups on my stream/server PC.
This script will iterate through a source path and copy directories/files to a destination directory. This was developed with the source and dest directories being the roots of their respective drives.
- Certain paths can be ignored if they take up too much time, don't need redundancy, etc.
For any who are curious, my stream/server PC has a HDD that is exposed to my Windows Homegroup that functions as a drop in area for files to be backed up. I use a program called DropIt to periodically scan the drop in drive and move files out of the drop in drive into a seperate, larger drive. The files are moved into various folders depending on file type (images, word/ppt/excel, mp3, etc). A limitation of the DropIt program is that source directories and destination directories have a 1-1 relationship, so one cannot tell it to copy to two different paths for redundancy. Rather than set up another option to scan the ENTIRE drive that data was initially moved to every X seconds (X being equal to how often I was to scan the drop in drive), I decided to develop this script to periodically sync my drives whenever I wanted.
