Solve : Query regarding my backup script ...?

Answer»

Hello all,

Has been some time again since I was last on the forum so I hope everyone is fairing well.

I have a backup script (+ associated file) that works well - no issues ... except on Tuesday mornings.

I can't understand why, but returns a "***WARNING*** - Only COMPLETED 4 of the 3 backups attempted." in the log - has me completely miffed.

Could someone spare a few minutes, TAKE a peek and make any suggestions.

Cheers,
Cameron


[attachment deleted by admin]I have never seen some of your techniques, but if you say it works, I guess that's true.

Quote

for /f %%i in (%TempFile%) do call %0 CheckNumOfBackups %%i

Quote
:CheckNumOfBackups
if not "%2"=="%NumOfBackups%" call %0 FoundWarnings Only completed %2 of the %NumOfBackups% backups attempted.
if "%2"=="%NumOfBackups%" set MailBody=%MailBody% - %2 of %NumOfBackups% completed ok.
goto :EOF

This appears to be the code where the message is issued. Does not a call to %0 create a recursion problem? TRY turning echo on to trace what value %%i has.

I couldn't find any code specific to Tuesday, only Sunday and Monday. The message is not logical (Only completed 4 of the 3 backups attempted.) so I would try debugging files left over from previous run that shouldn't exist for this run.

Suggest not using reserved words or command NAMES for your variables. Results can be unpredictable.

Hi SIDEWINDER,

Many thanks for the reply & taking the time to peruse the script.
I'll take all onboard your comments and have a further look after the New Year starts.

In the mean time - have Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Cheers,
Cameron
