Hello
Are there any free software tools available that can perform regular backups of a local folder to the same network drive, with each backup replacing the previous one?

I would begin with the link provided.
If the backup route is straightforward, a batch file or PowerShell script could handle the process.
Utilize Task Scheduler to automatically run the script when needed.
Could you share the source folder path and the target folder path?
How frequently should backups occur?

And although I recognize the need to replace previous files, this step can be dangerous.
If a backup fails or becomes corrupted, you might lose all data.

I believe he refers to a file or folder comparison backup, where the network drive's folder is replaced with the local one's content. Even in this scenario, it would be wise to perform regular full backups of that folder.

Additionally, robocopy will be the best solution for this task. Unless you prefer versioning methods (such as archiving older files instead of deleting or overwriting), you should opt for alternatives like FreeFileSync or a paid option. Robocopy is included in Windows command-line tools, so no separate installation is required.
