.backup_ingrid_directory(from = 'c://ingrid/.', to = :infer_the_first_external_device) ⇒ Object

BackupParadise::Windows.backup_ingrid_directory

This will try to backup c:\ingrid. It only works on windows really.

The trailing ‘.’ is necessary, so that the content of the directory is copied, rather than the directory itself and THEN its content.
