hi
i tried to make backup to windows folder by raring it via winrar
and some of the files couldn't be read sense the its being used and some files unreadable
or something like that
i tought if i MIGHT rar it via dos in command prompt it will go clear
what is the command to rar entire windows folder in dos and what should i download to use the commandThere is no built-in command for RARing folders/files.

WinRAR comes with a command line application just called RAR.EXE.

Code: [Select]@echo off
set path="C:\Program Files\WinRAR";%path%
rar a <Directory of files to be archived>
echo Done.
pause
exit
That ought to archive the directory to the same.doesn't work
C:\>rar a
The syntax of the command is incorrect.Quote from: punto on June 03, 2010, 11:15:52 AM

doesn't work
C:\>rar a <c:\php>
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

It's also probably not a good way to backup Windows anyways...

then which way is good?
true image doesn't supplies me
i want to make backup so if someday i will want to format and reinstall windows
i can do it by image iso or something and it will be exatcly like now with all the programs installed

probably no
keeps giving me errors
