i need help, my backup batch file doesn't backup. I have it copy my DOCUMENTS to a FOLDER and then it ask me where to BACK it up. when i select E:\(DVD Burner) it said location not found or something and when i choose F:\(Flash Drive) its the samething. I got Vista.
heres my code.
Code: [Select]@echo off
title Backup Files to Temporary Location
echo Gathering files.......
echo Please wait.
copy C:\Users\Owner\Documents "C:\Users\Owner\Documents\backupstore\" /V /Y
cls
echo.
ECHO 1.Burn to CD
ECHO 2.Move to Flash Drive(:G)
set dir=
set /p dir=Choose a Directory
if '%dir%'=='1' goto Burner
if '%dir%'=='2' goto Flash Drive
ECHO "%choice%" Invalid Directory
ECHO.
:Burner
title Burning Backup DISC....
echo Moving Backup Data to CD Burner...
copy C:\Users\Documents\backupstore\ E:\
goto end
:Flash Drive
title Backing up file to Flash Drive
echo Moving Backup Data to Flash Drive
copy C:\Users\Documents\backupstore\ "G:\Documents\Backup\" /V /Y
end
:end
ECHO Backup completed!
pause
exitLet me just clear up the code first


Code: [Select]:1
@echo off
title Backing Files to Temporary Location
echo Gathering files..........
echo Please wait.
md "C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Backupstore"
copy "C:\Users\owner\documents" "C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Backupstore" /v /y
cls
echo.
echo. 1.Burn to CD
echo. 2.Move to Flash Drive (g:\)
set /p dir= Choose a Directory:
if /i %dir%==1 goto :burner
if /i %dir%==2 goto :flash
cls
echo.
echo Please choose 1 or 2 and press Enter
pause > nul
goto :1
:burner
cls
title Burning Backup Disc.....
echo Moving backup data to Cd burner.....
copy "C:\Users\Documents\backupstore" "E:\"
goto :end
:flash
cls
title Backing up files to Flash Drive
echo. Moving backup data to flash drive
md "G:\Documents\Backup"
copy "C:\Users\Documents\backupstore" "G:\Documents\Backup" /V /Y
goto :end
:end
echo.
echo. Backup completed!
echo.
pause
exit
Try that. I don't know vista well but that should/might work.
If it doesn't work, try getting rid of the '/V /Y' from the copy command.Is it actually possible to burn a disc just by using the copy command? Just wondering because I don't know the ANSWER my self...
