Wrong directory

[1bobby]

The following command causes the following error. All I am trying to do is run ntbackup of two directors of gasboy and fm2000.

I tried the comspec option and still get the same thing. Why wont it go to the correct location, or what am I doing wrong?

RunWait("c:\windows\system32\ntbackup backup c:\FM2000, 'c:\program files\gasboy\'", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

RETURNS the following error

Running:(3.2.4.9):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\bobbyb\Desktop\DPSI Backup.au3"

C:\Documents and Settings\bobbyb\Desktop\DPSI Backup.au3 (68) : ==> Unable to execute the external program.:

RunWait("ntbackup backup c:\FM2000, 'c:\program files\gasboy\'", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

note: if you want the whole code to help me, please let me know.

thanks bobby

That RunWait is totally messed up. What folder are yoy trying to backup? Probably c:\FM2000. Or are you trying to backup both c:\FM2000 and c:\program files\gasboy\ ?

Yes, I am trying to backup FM2000 and Gasboy.

First I'm not sure if you can specify 2 folders at the same time with Ntbackup. See here

Ntbackup examples

Also. If you can indeed do it then the RunWait would be

RunWait('ntbackup backup c:\fm2000 "c:\program files\Gasboy"', @SW_Maximize)

I just switched your single and double quotes

A better way might be to use

$fList = StringSplit('C:\fm2000|"C:\Program Files\Gasboy"','|')

For $I = 1 To $fList[0]
   RunWait ('ntbackup backup ' & $flist[$I], @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Next

Better yet is

$flist = StringSplit("c:\fm2000|" & @ProgramFilesDir & "\Gasboy", "|")
For $I = 1 To $fList[0]
If FileExists($Flist[$I] Then RunWait("ntbackup backup " & FileGetShortName($Flist[0]), @SW_Maximize)
Next
