Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have a script that when I try to run it, it closes at this point:<br />
<br />
1. FOR /f %a IN ('WMIC OS GET LocalDateTime ^| FIND &quot;.&quot;') DO SET DTS=%a<br />
2. SET NowStamp=%DTS:~0,4%-%DTS:~<wbr />4,2%-%DTS:<wbr />~6,2%_%DTS<wbr />:~8,2%-%DT<wbr />S:~10,2%-%<wbr />DTS:~12,2%<wbr /><br />
3. robocopy &quot;C:\Users\richa\Google Drive&quot; /MIR F:\1BackUp\GoogleDrive_%No<wbr />wStamp%<br />
<br />
I'm trying to backup my files at 6pm, when I'm gone for the day. &nbsp;It will create a backup copy and append the current time and date at the end of the folder name. &nbsp;Each line will run in the command window. &nbsp;It just won't run if I create a .cmd or .bat script.<br />
<br />
Please help with this problem or suggest an alternative solution.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />

Hi All,

I have a script that when I try to run it, it closes at this point:

2. SET NowStamp=%DTS:~0,4%-%DTS:~4,2%-%DTS:~6,2%_%DTS:~8,2%-%DTS:~10,2%-%DTS:~12,2%
3. robocopy "C:\Users\richa\Google Drive" /MIR F:\1BackUp\GoogleDrive_%NowStamp%

Batch Script .bat

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.
