Simple Batch file to Backup Script ???
I have written a simple batch to backup files to a server ... Now I know nothing about VB, but do know there is so much more you can do with it. Can anyone help me out ??
cd c:\My Documents
echo %username% was last backed up %time% %date% > Date.txt
xcopy *.* \\Pongo\Home\%Username% /I /E /V /H /R /D /Y
Now I need to tart it up a little. I need the following :
1. It to run in a Window so the user can see what it is doing / copying
2. Some sort of interaction from the user ie: You are about to back up your data to the server do you wish to continue ?
3. A completion statement ie: Your data has been backed up to \\location press any key to exit.
Thanks in Advance
