The thirst for knowledge is strong today!!

 

I have a folder on the network that I would like to backup everyday.  I was thinking a workflow on Alteryx server, scheduled, would do the job.  I'm just not sure about the workflow.  Does anyone have a sample, or can steer me down the right path?  As always, thank you!!!

You can use the command line tool to do this.  If you are on Windows 10 robocopy command will work and if you are on a previous version of windows use the xcopy.
