here is the example of simple backup command. replace the <backup folder and <backup destination> as per your computer setup. Try to use external USB drive for backup to be safe side. You can just copy paste the following command into the notepad and save that file with .bat extension. Run the test back and if everything is ok, use Schedule Task from control panel, select this batch file and schedule your backup. Make sure when your run this backup close any open files or email.

robocopy.exe <backup folder> <backup destination> /R:5 /W:10 /MIR /np /LOG:c:\MyBackupLog.txt
