Help Me

Hello guys.. the first time I use this incredible program..

Only a simply (for you..) question, I take a search but I didn't find it:

I'll do every night a backup of my hard-disk (only few directories) in one usb temporary hard disk.. I find the "dircopy" command, it is ok; than I do the "shutdown(13)" command to power down the PC.

How can I do to have a log (text file) of all file copied and if the copy is ok?

Thank you.

PS excuse for my english

How about ..

;Create log of backed up files, including date and folder..
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c dir /s "U:\Backups\*.*">"C:\Backups.LOG"','',@SW_HIDE)
;Now C:\Backups.LOG is the log you want;o)

.. Assumes that "U:" is your USB drive, and you have copied stuff to the folder "U:\Backups\".

Hope this helps

I tested it.. but it isn't I wanted it..

In Dos mode there is the xcopy command that make a list (in real time) of copied files and than at the end of the operation tell me that the operation is ok with n.. copied files.

How can I have the list of copied files in a log files?

Thx

Try

RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c xcopy /s /y C:\MyDir\*.* U:\Backups > D:\Projects\Backups.txt"','',@SW_HIDE)

(assumes c:\MyDir is the directory that you want to back up)

The RunWait command can run any dos command
