The following robocopy script copies the production system folder to the standby server, and other files to a separate backup server:

robocopy C:\j5_attachments \\STANDBYSERVER\j5_attachments /e /z /np /copyall /xc /fp /log+:j5attachmentsbackuplog.txt

robocopy C:\ProgramData\j5\config \\BACKUPSERVER\j5ProductionBackup\config /e /z /np /copyall /xc /fp /log+:j5configbackuplog.txt

robocopy C:\ProgramData\j5\generated_files

In the production environment, the above script can be scheduled to run regularly using the Windows Task Scheduler, as described by Microsoft at:
