Batch file for Daily backup with Robocopy

[Dave Allen]

I need assistance writing a daily backup batch file using Robocopy
What I want to do is back to a destination of YYYY-MO\YYYY-MO-DY\

For example
Robocopy D:\Data\ E:\Backup\YYYY-MO\YYYY-MO-DA\ /a /s /b /r:2 /w:1

How do I pass the month day and year?

You can use the variables %date% and %time%, but I am not sure whether you
can customise the format.

echo Time is %time% on the %date%

mkdir D:\Data\ E:\Backup\%date%

Probably not the best way to do it but..

set owsh = createobject("wscript.shell")

sSourceFolder = "C:\temp\temp\temp123\"
sDestinationFolder = "C:\temp\" & year(now) & "-" & month(now) & "\" &
year(now) & "-" & month(now) & "-" & day(now) & "\"

wscript.echo sdestinationfolder

sCommand = "%comspec% /c Robocopy "
sCommand = sCommand & sSourceFolder & " "
sCommand = sCommand & sDestinationFolder & " "
sCommand = sCommand & " /a /s /b /r:2 /w:1"

wscript.echo sCommand

set x = owsh.exec(sCommand)

do until x.stdout.atendofstream
wscript.echo x.stdout.readline
loop


-j

I use this batch file with xcopy. Here is how I solve the date issue. I plan to use robocopy now intsead of xcopy.
