I created this script (My 1st proper grown up one!) to assist our build guys at work to backup files/folders on old PC's before they swap them out.
It asks where you want the files to be backed up to (C:\FolderName) or even (\\ServerName\Volume\Folder).
Then asks for file types to backup (doc, xls, txt)
Asks which user profiles to backup.
It then backsup all the file types as requested retaining the folder structure.
And then backsup the "My Documents", "favorites" & "Notes Data" folders from the profiles requested.
The script could be altered to include any folders on the PC that you require.
Oh and it writes a logfile to show what was copied.
In theory you could run this on your PC and remotely backup PC by changing line Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") to Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\PCNAME\root\cimv2") but I've not tried it!
