Copy, create new, paste folder

[burncyclebgn]

Hello AutoIT community,

I've recently been trying to put together a script that would do a "backup".

Essentially, do these steps:

1. Copy folder W:DataCurrent
2. Create new folder in W:DataBACKUP (Name it data + time of folder creation)
3. Paste copied folder into W:DataBACKUP03-08-14-0200

So far this is my code:

If WinExists("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe") Then
WinActivate("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")
Send("say Server will be Saving in 3 seconds")
Send("{Enter}")
Sleep(3000)
Send("save-all")
Send("{Enter}")
Sleep(3000)
Send("say Automatic Backup Completed")
Send("{Enter}")
EndIf
FileCopy("W:\MinecraftServer\world", "W:\MinecraftServer\world\BACKUP" + @MON; @DAY; @YEAR)

Thank you in advance everyone!

Try

$sSource = "W:\MinecraftServer\world\"
$sDest = "W:\MinecraftServer\world\BACKUP\" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR & "_-_" & @HOUR & "-" & @MIN & "-" & @SEC & "\"
$iFlag = 9

MsgBox(0,"", "Server will be saving in 3 seconds", 3)

$iSucess = FileCopy($sSource, $sDest, $iFlag)

If $iSucess = 1 Then

MsgBox(0,"", "Automatic Backup Completed. Exiting in 5 seconds", 5)

ElseIf $iSucess = 0 Then

MsgBox(0,"", "Error", 3)

EndIf

"save-all" is a server func or you just put to clarify?

Thanks for responding! "save-all" is a server function. So I announce (say) a server save, save the server, then announce (say) it was saved. 

Wouldn't I have to focus Windows Explorer in order to do the copy pasting of the folder named "world"?

edit - good news! It worked perfectly! Except it didn't save in the right area, so I just readjusted that. Thank you so much GordonFreeman! (also, awesome name!)
