hi there im looking for some help if possible. I’ve made the script that starts the windows backup and places the backup image in a new folder once completed. I want to be able to read in an INI file for the “drives to include” and “unc network path”.<\/p>\n
Cant seem to get it to read from the ini correctly. if i manually enter the “include” and “backupshare” variables into the batch file it works. Could someone have a look please. heres the script<\/p>\n
@echo off
\n:: backup.cmd
\n:: Backup using WBADMIN.EXE<\/p>\n
for \/f “tokens=1,2 delims==” %%a in (ini.ini) do (
\nif %%a==backupshare set backupshare=%%b
\nif %%a==include set include=%%b
\n)<\/p>\n
echo %backupshare%
\necho %include%<\/p>\n
rem backup share UNC
\nset backupshare=%backupshare%<\/p>\n
rem files and folders to include
\nset include=%include%<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
rem define date time variables for building the folder name
\nset m=%date:~6,2%
\nset d=%date:~3,2%
\nset y=%date:~9,4%
\nrem set h=%time:~0,2%
\nrem set min=%time:~3,2%
\nrem set sec=%time:~6,2%<\/p>\n
rem defining a new folder like \\\\\\\\\\
\nset newfolder=%backupshare%\\%computername%\\%d%%m%%y%
\necho Creating %newfolder%<\/p>\n
mkdir %newfolder%<\/p>\n
rem run the backup
\necho Backing up %include% to %newfolder%
\nwbadmin START BACKUP -backuptarget:%newfolder% -include:%include% -allCritical -vssFull -quiet<\/p>\n
pause<\/p>\n
and heres the INI file ive been using<\/p>\n
backupshare=10.11.13.5\/test\/
\ninclude=c:<\/p>\n
