March 16, 20188 yr I have a Windows 8 VM on my unRAID server and want to back up a single file from the VM. I want the file to be automatically backed up to a share on my unRAID array. I'd like the file to be backed up daily and I also want it to delete versions of the file that are older than X days (so I don't forget about it and have hundreds of copies of the file). I can't seem to find a utility that will do this. I know Win8 has file history but I think that only works for an entire drive or folder. I don't want to backup the whole driver/folder, just the one file. Any recommendations are much appreciated!
March 16, 20188 yr EaseUS TODO backup will do what you want, I don't remember if the free version will let you backup single files, or if it's just the entire disk, but the paid-for version certainly will do what you want. EaseUS. Could probably also do it using some batch files and Windows Task scheduler, but it would be a home-brew solution for sure. Looks like WIndows 8 has a backup utility too (although I hardly hear good things about MS Backup applications - in general) https://www.eightforums.com/threads/backup-restore-files-and-folders-from-in-windows-8.9044/ Hope that helps.
