I have my laptop at home, and have just been given a new pc at work. At the end of every week, I want to back up the files I’ve changed in some way. But I don’t want to back up _all_ my files. Is there some way of telling Windows to find all files which have been opened or changed in the past week (or other time period) and listing them, so I can then just select those files and back them up?
Thanks!
There’s more to this than meets the “eye.” I’m sure you know that there’s hundreds (maybe thousands?) of files that change constantly as you use the PC, not just “user data” like email, bookmarks, word processing, financial, etc. files. If you’re wanting to backup ONLY the user data kind of files, it’s gonna take a process of “making a list” and then using a program like Joe suggested to create a backup script from your list. Creating that list sometimes takes a lot of searching through the hard drive to make note of where certain files reside. Lots of people back up My Documents only to realize later that that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You might also want to take a look at the 
program called Replicator from Karen Kenworthy.
