So, assume I have done nothing else prior to this step and my goal is to set the bbs to do a nightly backup. My understanding is as follows :
1> Create WGSCLEAN.BAT and place it in the WGSERV dir

2> Add the following command line (this would be the only line yes? )
@echo off
start /WAIT C:\wgserv\winrar.exe a -rr -ag-MMM-DD-YYYY C:\wgbackup\wgbackup.rar C:\wgserv

3> place rar.exe in WGSERV dir along with the WGSCLEAN.BAT


Is there anything else the veterans would recommend I do / add, anything I am overlooking here to achieve my goal listed above?

i do not use winrar but what you got is ok now what i also do is to copy the compressed file to a cloud so i always have a way
incase hd dies or comp to have a backup file. i use megasync as my cloud storage because it creates a folder on my comp and my dropbox as well
but even if my hd dies or comp its still at the cloud. i zip my whole bbs folder. i do also copy the zip to several of my external drives.

this is my wgsclean.bat file

del /q c:\mainbbs.zip
del /q c:\wg\wgsaudit.adt
del /q c:\wg\*mmud.log
del /q c:\wg\GALEML2.DAT
del /q "\\isor\public\mainbbs.zip"
del /q \\ajp\MEGA\mainbbs.zip
del /q \\ajp\tonybook\mainbbs.zip
