Check for archive bit for backup

Recommended Posts

I have looked around for some commands I can use to perform a copy based on the archive bit set to "A" similar to the DOS command 'Robocopy' functionality. The combination of commands would have to wind through all files in a folder and all the sub folders to see if the files have been "touched" and then copy them to a backup drive, then set the archive bit to "N". I can see the AutoIt commands to test for the archive bit "FileGetattrib" and "FileSetAttrib" for a file but am not sure how to wind through all the files and do the copy.

Can someone lead me by the nose to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.
