I have a computer that I use as a DVR for recording security footage. That hard drive that I live record to is 600GB. I have a separate hard drive with just over 8TB that I can store up to 2 months worth of footage on. Every 3 days, my live record hard drive fills up. Because of this, I need to move this footage over to my storage drive every 2 days. I am looking to write a batch file that can move entire folders with footage from my live record drive to my storage drive. I'm not asking this question without doing my own work. I've consulted my friend, Google, but up to now, the batch files that I've tried didn't work when I put them in Task Scheduler.
I could use some help (1) writing a .bat to move entire folders, and (2) a .bat file (or line within that same file?) to delete those folders from the live record drive to give me some much needed space!
I am a newb when it comes to batch files and their commands so I know all of you experts can be of great assistance. Thanks in advance! (Perhaps by the time I receive answers I'll have it figured out
but right now I could really use the help!...)
