Importance of backup

Heh, all of us hate those boring daily backups. But backup can save our work in case of hardware failure or just accidentally deletion.

So I decide to write simple .CMD script in order to automate backup process. This script backup one or more target folders to compressed file Backup [dd.mmm.yyyy].rar on custom location (e.g. Backup [12.06.2002].rar).

Just download archive from link below, put all files from archive in one folder and customize script.

Open .cmd file in your text editor and replace values in brackets with your own paths as described in script comments. I also provided sample script which back up contents of your desktop to archive in root of C drive to show you how script should look like. My upload also contains cmdline utility rar.exe in case that you don't have winrar installed on your system.
Best wishes, Mare
