      Why not create a SMB share at the same place the NFS share is. Then you can use Windows tools to do the copy.

        I was assuming @DustinB3403 wanted to avoid SAMBA.... yeah, I know, stop assuming!

          At the moment I can access the NFS Share using WinSCP, and copy from the NFS Share to my windows PC without issue, but I don't believe I can schedule this.

          WinSCP can be scheduled. We are using it here to off-site several backups. I can take a look and see what all it takes to do that if you want.

            That would be awesome.

                Write a batch file to run WinSCP, and put the batch file in scheduler? That or learn how to use power shell properly.

                I'm pretty comfortable with Powershell and could probably figure it out, but wasn't that invested in trying to do it.

                  From Windows Batch File: sendBackup.bat

                  @echo off
                  "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console /script=c:\drivers\scripts\send.info
                  

                  Contents of send.info:

                  option batch on
                  option confirm off
                  open [email protected]
                  option transfer binary
                  put drive:\path\to\folder\*.*
                  close
                  exit
                  

                  From my discussion with the colleague... You'll need to run this as whatever user the backup job is going to run under, since the WinSCP settings are per user. (I think you'll need to set up the connection to the backup host manually)

                  And change the put drive:\path\to\folder. to __get /path/to/backups/.

                  And you should be good to go. If you can't get it going, let me know.

                    With PuTTY you can.

                        PuTTY comes with a command line SCP client.

                            Took me like a decade or so before someone pointed it out to me recently too 🙂
