Backup files from multiple windows 10 machines

[Matt.b483]

I have 6 windows 10 computers that I am looking to backup a single folder from each in close to realtime I want all the files to be stored in a single folder on my nas system. I have been playing around with syncthing but I'm not sure if it's the right solution to my goal (I keep loosing data do to the way it wants to sync and the fact that I don't want it to sync that way). The 6 computers don't have that much storage space. The files are kb-mb in size and about a total of maybe a gb on each pc some less than others. Is there a way for me to mirror the folders on the 6 computers onto my free as system?

robocopy?

robocopy?

I'm actually new so by robocopy what do you mean? I'm looking to copy any file added to a single folder on the client machines the instant the file is created. The files are log files. And often we need to review these log files. But to do this we have to first figure out what pc they came from. Then search that computer for the log file. The goal is to have all 6 computers store a copy of the log file on the nas storage this way we can stop searching for the needed file. I cannot change the directory the initial file is stored in. So far my best solution is to make the folder for the log files a symbolic link to a mapped network drive, but if for some reason the server is offline this method would fail resulting in data loss

Robocopy may be the solution thank you I'll look into it fully and report back here if it is

You can install the nextcloud sync client on Windows 10 (and other OS types). this allows sync between your nextcloud instance and the clients for each user.

I don't know what next cloud is. Does it work the same as other clouds ie. Google/apple or can it be configured for local network only?

It can be configured to be available only on a local network or both local and internet. It can be installed as a plugin or manually as a jail on FreeNAS /TrueNAS.

Thank you every one I actually completed the task using robo copy as it was the simplest solution for my project
