1.	Solve : Making backup?
Answer» Hi, I made a batch file that makes a backup folder: Code: [Select]@echo off del c:/backup/. xcopy [highlight]c:/backup files/.[/highlight] c:/backup/. ExitFirst of all, what files do you think are nessesary(scuse my spelling) to make a backup of? And I was wondering if it is possible to set this batch file to complete these tasks once a day, without having to open it?? THANKS!Quote First of all, what files do you think are nessesary(scuse my spelling) to make a backup of? This really depends on you, probably your my doctuments folder, with your doctuments, music, videos and pictures in it. Quote And I was wondering if it is possible to set this batch file to complete these tasks once a day, without having to open it?? just go to Scheduled Tasks in control panel and add the select the file and set it to run once a dayI see one problem: You're going to delete these backups once a day with that code. I'd be careful about that.You may want to CHANGE the / to \ as well.thanks everyone. I'm first I,m manually going to create back up and then it will be deleted everyday and replaced!Just curious: Why do you want these backups deleted every day?because I don't want like FIFTY backup folders!!You wouldn't GET fifty folders. You'd get all the backups in C:\backup\. (assuming the folder already EXISTS)
