Guest Ole Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hi everybody, I am trying to set up a scheduled backup. I will use wbadmin and not the graphical interface, because the interface does not allow to backup to remote servers. I have created a command like this: wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\SLH\BackupWin\YODA\Montag\ -include:c:,d: -noverify -user:Administrator -password:mypw -vssFull -quiet Now, it would be nice to replace the part '\Montag\' with every day of the week. Is there a function to do such replacement like %DAYOFWEEK% or something similar? Where can I find documentation about such functions? Thanks for your time Ole
Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: wbadmin Hi Ole, I'm not a big scripter, but just my 2c. What's stopping you from creating seven one-liners for each day of the week and calling appropriate command each day of the week? I apologize if that's dumb answer.
