Hello Guys
Anytime I run the script I can see my backup on the destination drive but will immediately varnish when I close the command prompt.
What is wrong with my script.

Also how I make command prompt exit after completion of task.

hey its awesome….
than q….

anyway i’ve designed this kind of script

Robocopy C:\Users\Dr\Documents\ E:\123\123\ /S /XO /NP /LOG:documents/Q &
ROBOCOPY C:\Users\Dr\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles E:\456\123\ /S /W:0 /R:1 /XO /LOG:firefox /NP &
Robocopy C:\Users\Dr\Desktop E:\789\123\ /S /MIR /LOG:desktop /NP

the only drawback is the console..it is prompting and i don’t like it… is there anyway to hide the console.. ?? than q..

Someone set this up for me and after a while it quit running..can you tell me what I can change to get it to work again. There is a short cut on my desk top and it was so easy to just double click and it would back up to my external drive. Thanks for your help.

xcopy “C:\Users\Msvikk\Documents” “J:\My Documents” /d /e /f /h /r /y
xcopy “C:\Users\Msvikk\Pictures” “J:\Pictures” /d /e /f /h /r /y
xcopy “C:\VikWing” “J:\VikWing” /d /e /f /h /r /y
pause

Hi, I am a newbie but need to write two batch files. I need to do a nightly backup, perhaps about 1:00 in the morning. It needs to backup from my store to my home server remotely. My server has an https:// URL, then I have to login using an ID and password. How can I write a batch file that will log into my home server via https:// and then back up? Or, maybe using an ftp program (automated)? Or I am open to other ideas.

Another batch file I need is to simply kill a program (instead of teaching my mom to use Task Manager) and open it back up. For the time being, I have a POS system that freezes if a VOID is made. If I could give her a button to push to just close the program and re-open it, that would be super!

I have been reading through this forum and it is great. Thanks for all the valuable input.
