Use Robocopy To Backup Files

robocopy C:\Users\username\Documents\ E:\Backup\ /MIR /XJD > Backup.log echo "DONE" >> Backup.log Dry Run: robocopy C:\Users\username\Documents\ E:\Backup\ /MIR /XJD /L > Backup.log rem Copy files to backup volume rem /MIR - Mirror files (delete files on destination that aren't on the source) rem /XJD - Exclude junction points for directories (may cause infinite loops) rem /sl - Don't follow symbolic links and instead create a copy of the link. rem /FFT - 2 second difference when comparing timestamps rem /R:3 - Only retry 3 times (default is 1 million) rem /W:10 - Wait time between retries (default is 30) rem /Z - Copies files in restart mode (NOTE: This WILL slow down copying) rem /B - Backup mode - allows copy of open files (must run as Admin) rem NOTE: /Z and /B can be combined as /ZB rem /NP - Don't output progress of copy operation rem /log:backup.log - Logs to backup.log, overwriting old log file (use /log+: to append) rem /...

A simple IIS HTTP module to log request headers and post data

This is a simple http module that hijacks the incoming request and logs it to a file. Using this module prevents the application from getting the post data because the input stream can only be read once. With .NET 4.0 the module could be much smaller, and could allow the application to read the data. To compile this, create a new "Class Library" application called PostDataLogger. Most of this class is pieced together from stolen code (stack overflow, etc.) using System; using System.IO; using System.Web; /// /// Dump PostDataLogger.DLL in your bin, and put this in your web.config inside of /// /// /// /// public class SimpleLogger : IHttpModule { private HttpApplication _ctx; public void Init(HttpApplication context) { _ctx = context; context.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(Context_BeginRequest); } void Context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { string GUID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); string filename = @"d:\temp\adeber...
