variable system

[Guest luc bonenfant]

hello,

 

I 'd like to backup files every nights in a new "bkf" file via ntbackup (svr

2003) for example :

 

c:\backup\2008_06_04.bkf

c:\backup\2008_06_05.bkf

c:\backup\2008_06_06.bkf

..

 

I 'd like to use %date% but it looks like 2008/06/04 so "/" don't works fine

in files name.

 

Any solutions ?

 

thank's

 

PS : if you have the complete nt backup command for this, I ll be glade !

Re: variable system

 

Hello luc,

 

I use this one to crate a date in a filename with .vbs script:

strDate = Year(Now) & "_" & Right("0" & Month(Now),2) & "_" & Right("0" &

Day(Now),2)

 

Best regards

Re: variable system

 

Try this in your batch file:

set MyDate=%Date:/=-%

echo %MyDate%

Re: variable system

 

Type

set /?

and look for "Character substitution" to see how I replaced

slashes with dashes.

 

The failure you report is unlikely to be caused by the %MyDate%

substitution. Post your backup command so that we can see

what you're doing.

Re: variable system

 

I prefere this unique command :

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and

Settings\luc\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows

NT\NTBackup\data\system_state_ad3.bks" /n "SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf created

17/04/2008 at 15:04" /d "Set created 17/04/2008 at 15:04" /v:yes /r:no

/rs:no /hc:off /m copy /j "system_state_ad3" /l:s /f

"\\Frpoi-bex\E$\ADdeAD3\%date:/=-%_SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf"

 

but It can be this one :

 

set mydate=%date:/=-%

 

and

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and

Settings\luc\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows

NT\NTBackup\data\system_state_ad3.bks" /n "SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf created

17/04/2008 at 15:04" /d "Set created 17/04/2008 at 15:04" /v:yes /r:no

/rs:no /hc:off /m copy /j "system_state_ad3" /l:s /f

"\\Frpoi-bex\E$\ADdeAD3\%mydate%_SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf"

 

But it don't want in the scheduler. It works fine in the cmd console.

Re: system variable

 

Re: system variable

 

Your problem lies probably here:

\\Frpoi-bex\E$

What account do you use for the scheduled job? Does

it have write-access to \\Frpoi-bex\E$? You can easily

find out by using the Task Scheduler to run this batch

file:

@echo off

echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.txt

copy /y %SystemRoot%\System32\more.com \\Frpoi-bex\E$ 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and

Settings\luc\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows

NT\NTBackup\data\system_state_ad3.bks" /n "SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf created

17/04/2008 at 15:04" /d "Set created 17/04/2008 at 15:04" /v:yes /r:no

/rs:no /hc:off /m copy /j "system_state_ad3" /l:s /f

"\\Frpoi-bex\E$\ADdeAD3\%date:/=-%_SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf" 1>>c:\test.txt

2>>&1

 

Now have a look at c:\test.txt - it will tell you a lot! You must also

examine the backup log that is generated by ntbackup.exe.
