PERFORMANCE: Basic test on performance & trying to break restore ...

Test 1 -- Touch 8 wiki each of 5mb wiki in downloads. Drive C: internally. Check restore & zip & backup.

WORKED

Test 2 -- Touch 8 wiki each of 5mb wiki in downloads. Drive C: for Downloads & Backup. Drive T: for wiki and Zips. Check restore & zip & backup.

WORKED

Test 3 -- CHALLENGE TEST Auto Touch 8 wiki in Downloads, each 5mb, on C: every 10 seconds (assumes user has 8 keyboards and 8 writing hands) Auto Run Polly from T: every 3 seconds Drive C: for Downloads & Backup. Drive T: for wiki and Zips. Check restore & zip & backup.

WORKED

COMMENTS:

  1. Running from T: USB slowed the process a bit but not in a way that was disruptive.
  2. Since the script issues orders sequentially and waits till completion timing conflicts did not arise.
  3. No sign of "locked-file" problems.

VERDICT: So far so good.

!!!WARNING!!! -- Don't try this on a small disk. The Breeding of backup files occupies a lot of space very quickly.
