Script to Restore Files Based File Name
Hello,
We accidentally deleted files. We have a backup but it is not reliable and did not backup these files properly. A lot of them are missing. We do happened to have these missing files archived in another location. I would like to see if we can automate a restore from this archived location.
The main production network share has a structure of "C:\FTP Folder\PO#\Date\PO#_Item#\
Not sure if this is possible via a script, but that is what I am hoping for.
Thank You!!

Try this batch file:
echo off
set str="Folder\PO#\Date\PO#_Item#\League_Item#_Team_Player_Color\"
set str2=%str:Folder\PO#\Date\PO#_=F:\%
set str3=%str2:_=\%
echo %str3%

So, you want to look at each of these folders in the main server location, and then do what? Copy all files from the backup location? What if they already exist in the main server, overwrite, or skip?

REVISED:
If you need to process multiple folders in source folder c:\ftp, try this.
Note:
- I've placed an ECHO so you can see what the command does. It does not do the actual copy. To run it for real, remove the ECHO
- I used XCOPY command. Of course, use whatever command you like.
