writting a simple code to back up a file?
0
I am a complete noob but i was able to find this which does what i want. Just backing up a single file with a .bat file.
: variables
set drive=D:backup
SET dateNtime="%date:~0,2%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~6,6%_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%"
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /k /y
echo ### Backing up your Sites directory...
%backupcmd% "d:exampleexample.txt" "%drive%%dateNtime%"
echo Backup Complete - Your Backup is located at %drive%
problem is, when i try to run it as .bat file, this alway alway prop up
D:w10>set drive=D:backup
D:w10>SET dateNtime="31-01-2019_16-38"
D:w10>set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /k /y
D:w10>echo ### Backing up your Sites directory...
### Backing up your Sites directory...
D:w10>xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /k /y "d:exampleexample.txt" "D:backup"31-01-2019_16-38""
Does D:backup31-01-2019_16-38 specify a file name
or directory name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)?
How do i make it automatically select D(or F)?
command-line

Try adding a trailing backslash as described in second option in link above, i.e.%backupcmd% "d:exampleexample.txt" "%drive%%dateNtime%". It worked for me. The option/ionly works if you are copying more than one file. Seexcopy /?for more info on this.
