Bak.Bat - Backup your project
A script for creating and doubling of backup copies of a project.
This was my version control script before I started using SVN, to create backup copies of my projects on daily basis and also to automatically copy project files to and from my memory stick, while moving from university to work and from work to home (Dropbox didn't exist back then :-)
I keep this script for historical reasons - it did a good job for me.
There are plenty of other tools like Git, Sync, Dropbox etc to help you track and backup project files.
Usage
In a default setup you would have a folder named Bak_Projects
on
your memory stick (eg. F:\Bak_Projects\
) and a folder with the same
name on your HDD (eg. D:\Bak_Projects\
).
Copy Bak.Bat
under \Bak_Projects\
on each disk.
Copy Bak.Bat
to each project's folder under \Bak_Projects\
.
Run Bak.Bat
in project's folder to see the list of actions.
For Double
command to work properly you have to create
.\Bak\bak_lng.bat
file for each project with the contents
set bak_lng=%bak_lng%\<ProjectName>
where <ProjectName>
is the folder name of the current project.
You can overwrite detaults defined in Bak.Bat
by creating
corresponding .bat
file in .\Bak
folder of each project.
Overwritable variables are:
%bak_ext%
, %bak_upx
, %bak_dir
, %bak_dsk
, %bak_dbl_dir
, %bak_dbl
, %bak_net
, %bak_clean%
.
Sample .\Bak\bak_ext.bat
file:
REM Add bpl and dcu file extension to the default list of backup extensions.
set bak_ext=%bak_ext%, bpl, dcu
