Subject  :  verify backup batch files
Size(KB) :  2


Hi,

With the help from this group, I have a set of batch files that seems to 
backup my data the way I want it to, using a reference directory with zero 
byte-files. I've been trimming the commands, and just want to check with 
the group that I'm not making any big mistakes. Looking in the destination 
directories, changed files seems to be updated, both in DST and REF. But to 
be sure, I would appreciate if someone could have a look a my files to see 
if I'm making any dangerous mistakes.

create_ref.bat is run once, to set up the reference directory as well as 
copy all present files to the destination. create_ref.bat contains these 
two xxcopy-commands for every directory being backuped:

xxcopy "c:\web\" "d:\backup\ref\c\web\" /CLONE /TR0 /V0 /I 
/EXc:\batch\exclude.lst
xxcopy "c:\web\" "d:\backup\backup\c\web\" /CLONE /I 
/EXc:\batch\exclude.lst


For each directory being backuped, I use backup_XXX.bat:

@ECHO OFF
setlocal
set backup="Documents and settings"
set src="c:\documents and settings\anders\mina dokument\"
set ref="d:\backup\ref\c\documents and settings\anders\mina dokument\"
set dst="d:\backup\backup\c\documents and settings\anders\mina dokument\"
set log="d:\backup\log\/doc.log"
set tagfiles="d:\backup\log\/doc_tagfiles.log"
set bufiles="d:\backup\log\/doc_bufiles.log"
set reffiles="d:\backup\log\/doc_reffiles.log"
set err="d:\backup\log\doc.err"

:: Do the backup
xxcopy %src% /AZ /S
xxcopy %src% %ref% /CB /AA /FF /S /H /U0 /BX /I /FO%tagfiles% /FMLDTZ 
/EXc:\batch\exclude.lst
xxcopy %src% %dst% /CB /A /S /FF /H /KS /ZY /Y /PZ0 /I /ON%log% 
/FO%bufiles% /FMLDTZ /EXc:\batch\exclude.lst
xxcopy %src% %ref% /CB /CLONE /FF /BX /PZ0 /TR0 /V0 /I /OA%log% 
/FO%reffiles% /FMLDTZ /EXc:\batch\exclude.lst

:: Check for any errors and if so, create an error log
if errorlevel 0 goto :next
if errorlevel 100 goto :exit

:: There was an error, create an error log
echo %date% %time% Error number %errorlevel% occurred during backup for 
%backup%>%err%

:next
:: Carry out zip operation

:exit
:: Issue shutdown command


As it is right now, I run my backup at login. Using Win2k, I havn't found 
a way to run it at shutdown?


Best regards,
