Powershell script for sysadmin to regularly download backups from server to computer

Recently, a friend of mine encountered the problem of the VPS provider suddenly going out of business without notice. Unfortunately, for the sake of cheap, she chose a niche provider - one that didn’t even offer any data downloads. What’s worse is that she doesn’t even have the habit of downloading backups regularly. Overnight, her site disappeared, along with all the data on it.

A good reminder of how important it is to have remote backups. Another meta user suffered the same issue a few months ago.

One of my instance uses the built-in S3 backups feature, the others use Rclone and a CRON task to send backups on Google Drive. There’s a guide for this: Use rclone to sync backups to Dropbox or Google Drive

Thanks for sharing your script Linca
