Script for backup

Hello Fine folks of Dopu,

I am trying to put together a vb script that will copy a directory with the current date-time appended to the folder name and then to put that new directory into an existing zip file called 'backups' in the same directory as source directory.

Thanks so much!

Probably no script needed. Select the directory and run

Copy AS=*-{date|yyyyMMdd}-{time|HHmmss} ARCHIVE=.zip TO={sourcepath}backups.zip

Awesome!!! Thanks so much. Works perfectly! :grinning:

and why doesn't work for me? I get this message after selecting a folder and pressing a button

Probably because...

Thinking about it.... ARCHIVE=.zip is not needed and can be removed.
