Snapshot - Remote Backup


As a Systemadministrator, keeping disk images for many computers current can be quite time consuming.

Due to Drive Snapshot's easy commandline interface, this can be done much easier.

Using RLOGIN/RCONSOLE from the Windows NT Resource pack, or the ingenious PSEXEC utility from sysinternals, you can easily automate this process, or control it from your own working place.
example for PSEXEC 

    C::\>PSEXEC  \\userComputer -u administrator -p AdminPasswd 
            -c -f c:\Programme\snapshot\Snapshot.exe C: \\Server\Backup\user\C-drive.SNA

This will:
login to the computer 'Usercomputer' as an administrator (required); copy Snapshot.exe to the other computer, and start a backup of the C:-drive to some space on your \\Server.

Please see PSEXEC documentation for more details.
