This is a batch script used to backup end user’s personal data to the company’s users share. It is used when replacing the user’s computer and you need an easy way to backup their data. This is modified for a company with roaming profiles as the users Desktop and Documents do not need to be backed up as it is stored on a server. It also backs up specific files in the documents folder for easy retrieval for the pickier end user (in case it doesn’t show up in the roaming profile).
