Backup Helper
A downloadable tool
Got a lot of files? Wish you were backing them up more often than you do, but it's too tedious? Here's a script that automates that process! Set it up once and a full back up is just 1 click away!
This batch script lets you quickly and automatically copy a list of files from one location to another, perfect for copying files between your hard drive and an external drive!
Features:
- Easily copy a user-defined list of folders or files at the click of a button
- Exclude specific folders or files from the backup
- Subsequent use only copies new or changed files
- Can be used for incremental backups as well as full backups
Includes both instructions and a usage demo alongside the script!
Note: likely only works on Windows as-is, but feel free to adapt for your own operating system if you wish :)
Also available on my ko-fi shop! This script is available for free, but if you enjoy what I've made then I'd hugely appreciate a tip <3

Install instructions
Thank you for choosing to download my script!!
The documentation for how to use the script can be found within the README.md file - please check it out!
Note that the script is set to copy the demo files when the script is ran out-of-the-box, and that you'll need to alter one line within the .bat file to change this. If you're not familiar with .bat files, then be aware that you need to right-click the .bat file and select "edit" to access the code of the script, as double-clicking/"opening" a .bat file executes the script. The demo only consists of a few files, so don't worry if you run it on accident :^)

I've been using it weekly for months (friend privileges hehe) and it works perfectly! Incredibly smooth to set up and run, and it comes with thorough instructions that are easy to follow <3
