NewVillageIT Thanks for the script.<br />
<br />
2 small notes:<br />
<br />
1- the parameters u updates files in the archive. Does it mean that if new files are created the are also added to the archive ? I am confused about the parameter f (freshen files )<br />
2-How can I create recovery volumes so that I am certain that the files will be extracted ?<br />
<br />
3- How can I change the compression level ?<br />
<br />
4-I need the logfile (so that I can make sure that the command executed to be store on a separate folder (dropbox folder)<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot !

Hi pa66...

Do still need help with questions in your last post?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I would like to create a backup of a folder(and its sub-folders) to a rar file<br />
<br />
The rar file should be the same name as the one earlier. so it means that we need to re-fresh the files and add new files.<br />
The rar file when done should be moved to a specific location.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Backup Script

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
