Backup Script

[tinboye]

So i been trying to get this backup script to to work. But for some reason i keep getting errors.

 

Here is the script:

 

@ECHO off
SETLOCAL

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
SET BACKPATH=%ThisService_RootDirectory%MPMissions
SET DEST_PATH=%ThisService_RootDirectory%Backups

REM Replace space in hour with zero if it?s less than 10
SET hr=%time:~0,2%
IF %hr% lss 10 SET hr=0%hr:~1,1%

REM This sets the date like this: mm-dd-yr-hrminsecs1/100secs
Set TODAY=%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10,4%-%hr%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%%time:~9,2%

ECHO.
ECHO Zipping all date files in MpMissions and archiving to Backups Folder
ECHO.
7z a -r -tzip ?%DEST_PATH%\%TODAY%.zip? ?%BACKPATH%\*? -mx5
:END
ENDLOCAL

 

and here is the error:

Zipping all date files in MpMissions and archiving to Backups Folder

anyone know what the issue is, or have an alternative script to have the user click an icon in their members area and can backup certain folders.

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\

 

Why that part? %PATH% is a system variable that outputs something like this if echoed:

If that is not specified then 7z will not work unless I place the exe in the same folder of the script.

[Dennis]

If you try to put 'ECHO' in front of 'SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\', what's the output then?

I have a backup script for Arma. Or any game server really. It works like a charm and is fully customzable
