The Migrate command in VBScript for use with Langmeier Backup. The command executes a data backup, while the folder paths to be backed up can be changed as desired on the data backup.
For example, Windows XP folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\Peter\My Documents
can be written to the data backup in such a way that the backed up folders correspond to the usual file structures under Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 +10:
C:\Users\Peter\My Documents
Integrated macros can be used, for example, to automatically convert the files to the correct file structure for Windows 7. Or the path parts to be changed can be defined using user-specific replacement expressions to implement your own migration scenarios.
