Handy script for cleanup (WGSCLEAN.bat)

[syntax]

The one I posted ( http://www.mudinfo.net/viewtopic.php?p= ... b41d#p4336 ) backs up the entire WG folder, minus wccupda2.dat.

If I were to be picky and want it in the C:\BACKUP would I simply put "C:\BACKUP\" in place of the "..\_backup"?

Thanks again!

You'd replace all instances of "_backup" with whatever you want (other than illegal filename characters). And avoid using spaces.

Took me a second to recognize the ".." as a similar command to "cd .." so now I understand.

The script worked perfectly and I appreciate the help. Nice to have a very robust and solid backup process and when it comes to hosting multiple cloud-based servers the elimination of wasted space on that log file will save a few bucks each year.

It's not a command, per say. They part of the paths; ".." means previous directory and a single "." means current directory.

Aye, re-read my post and my intent was to say "similar to the command of "cd ..", not that ".." in the batch was itself a command.

Thanks again!

Sorry if I missed this, I did dig around a little online and on this site... but once I have the .bat backing up the way I want, how do I get it to launch when the BBS does clean up automatically?

Thanks in advance!
