Backing Up files With Batch

[BadSCR]

I was thinking that I would Shear how i Backup my Files. It only copys the files that have changed or that are new.

Creat both Files in the same Folder.

File one: LORbackuper.bat

File two: AutoBackup.bat




Step one: Copy, and past the Code into Notpad

Step two: Fill-in the needed info

Step three: Save file as....

step four: Run the Bat file






To remove the AutoRun of the LORbackuper.bat

step one: start

step two: run

step three: %userprofile%Start MenuProgramsStartup

step four: Delete LORbackuper.bat

I am glad you brought this up. I got this nasty adware bug on my computer the other day and I can't get rid of it. Anyways, it causes my computer to restart out of no where. So if I am working on a sequence it could just close out of no where and I lose all my work.

It doesn't appear that LOR has a auto save function. So can this little script you wrote be used to auto save files if it should just suddenly close?


I have S2 running with my StartWatch. I would like to find a way to enable shows.

[BadSCR]

No it will not, But i will see what i can do.

I don't know, I will look into it.



The two little script that i wrote only auto-backups the files at start-up of your computer.

The other way to do the backup is to open LORbackuper.bat

You don't have to use the autoBackup.bat




From what i can see there is a CTRL+S in the LOR software to save. I may be able to use that to make a auto-save for LOR (By sending that key board cammand every 10 minutes)

but my little programe for that will have to run in the background and it will auto save for any program that has the CTRL+S protocall



CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND The LOR's COMMAND-LINE Commands. PLZ, It would be of help to me for scripting.

[BadSCR]

OK I have Something Its a Bata for me.

There are two of them. All of my programes have to be in the same folder.

Programe one: AutoSaveWithBackup.bat You have to go in and fill the needed info in.

Program Two: AutoSaveWithExtBackup.bat Place the above LORbackuper.bat with AutoSaveWithExtBackup.bat









@echo off

:: This Will Backup The LOR files To where you want them.
:: Just Enter The INFO needed below; after the "=" with no spaces.

:: after giving the needed INFO
:: Save the file as "ASaveLORBackuper.bat"



:: DO NOT Change "set XXXXXX="

:: Where The "Sequences Folder" is that needs to be Backed-up.
:: EX...set Seq=C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsLORSequences
set Seq=


:: Where The "Audio Folder" is that needs to be Backed-up.
:: EX...set Aud=C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsLORAudio
set Aud=


:: Where To Save the Backed-up Files and folders TO:
:: EX...set backuplor=D:backupLORfilesLOR
set backuplor=


:: How Long between Auto-Saves (In Milli-Seconds) (600000 = 10 Minutes)
::(1000 Milli-Seconds = 1 Second) (60000 Milli-Seconds = 1 Minute)
:: EX...set Delayed=600000
set delayed=600000




::-------------------------------------------------------------

:: Not For you to mess with
:: DO NOT Change From here Down.

::MAIN PROGRAME
:start

:: Just a message
echo.
echo This is a AutoSave Programe Using CTRL+S
echo.
echo This Programe is running
echo.



:: This Tells it to Wait
nircmd.exe wait %delayed%



:sendkey

:: will send the keys CTRL+S

nircmd.exe sendkey ctrl down
nircmd.exe sendkey s down

nircmd.exe sendkey ctrl up
nircmd.exe sendkey s up


:backupit

::This will run your LORbackuper.bat to backup the LOR files
call LORbackuper.bat

goto start

One Small problem with AutoSaveWithExtBackup.bat


On the LORbackuper.bat edit the file.

At the very bottum delete...

@pause
exit


And then save

----------------------------------------



There is one Bug in the program.

If you are using a flash drive to backup to; The drive letter of the flash drive could change and my program will not backup the files right.



Also note, I don't think it will work on a CD/DVD burner as a backup medium.



Let me know what yall think about these scripts.

Thanks,

---------------------------------------------

Also att. is an updateed AutoSave/Backuper files.
