Backup Scheme

All:
Does anybody have a flow chart, or program that incorporates a backup scheme for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually?

For example... BEFORE a daily backup, yesterdays daily backup gets moved to the weekly backups, after 7 daily backups they get moved to monthly backups, etc. etc. I would think that it would have to work backwards from the yearly backup folder, as if it's the start of a new yearly cycle, the annual folder should be moved to a legacy folder.

Any ideas? Where to look for such a thing, or other ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is this something you want controlled by Winbatch? Not sure if you want to document, or both execute and document.

Does anyone have a solution to this thread?

If you are looking for a cut&paste solution, I am not aware of any in the Tech Database that meet your requirements and apparently no forum members have and/or are willing to share one.  So it would appear your only alternative is to start writing a script.  Of course, you can always use Window's built-in backup software that depending on your version of Windows meets most of your requirements.
