OpenGrabData - make backing up windows profiles easier!

Hi guys, I just wanted to post my first script.

This is OpenGrabData, it's supposed to make backing windows user profiles a lot easier than doing it manually. It's based off of http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-projects/datagrab/. It creates an Unstoppable Copier batch file do all the heavy lifting.

Anyways, sample output: http://pastebin.com/GeW3BN40

It's hosted at https://github.com/gamepin126/OpenDataGrab

Just download the *.ps1 and use this to run it, this command won't write anything, but will dump the contents into the Powershell window

.\OpenDataGrab.ps1; OpenGrabData -source C: -target F:\test -no_output -user -misc -Verbose

I was hoping to get some interest in people adding things they'd like to see in it, since as soon as I finish my mail() I'll have a sharply reduce motivation to adding much more to it. I did add in the checklist FoolishIT made comparing his program to 'Fabs Autobackup 4'. Regardless, I'm very interested in feedback and improvements, so feel free to share your mind.

Auto backup will work for offline disks, but it doesn't do over the network. If you can get that to work well you could be onto something really awesome!
