BACKUP9 Description

BACKUP9 is a command line tool designed to help you backup a certain file with minimum effort. The command line arguments enable you to create multiple backups (9 by default) of a specified file. Usage backup9 filespec · Where filespec is a specification of the file(s) that should be backed up, and target is the directory where the backup files should be created. Switches: · /a Always perform backup, even if no change since last backup. · /e Replace the source file's extension instead of appending. · /i Ignore errors in the file specification. · /l Number of backup levels, from 1 to 999 (defaults to 9). · /m Maintain the directory structure. This is only applicable with the /s switch and a target directory. · /nologo Suppress logo banner. · /q Quiet mode - no banner or operation status. · /s Recursively enter subdirectories. Notes: · The filespec can contain the wildcard characters, the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?). It can also include multiple files separated by semi-colons. · If the target directory does not already exist, it will be created. If no target directory is specified, the backup files are created in the same directory as the source file. · If either the filespec or target parameter contains spaces, it should be enclosed in quotes. · No backup is made if the file has not changed since the last backup. · If a file is locked, backup9 will retry up to 10 times over a one second period. This is helpful for files that are sometimes briefly locked, like a database.
