    Will This Batch File Work In Windows 7
    « on: February 11, 2010, 04:51:32 PM »
    I am planning to install Windows 7 in next few days and wondering if the following batch file will work. Thank you. (I put this question in Windows Vista and Win 7 Forum by mistake)


    ::  Checkinn.bat

    echo ...
    echo PRESS 1 TO CONTINUE BACKUP (DO NOT PRESS 1 UNTIL YOU FINISH USING CHECKINN)
    ECHO ...
    ECHO ...
    ECHO ...
    echo PRESS 1 AND HIT ENTER WHEN READY

    set /p x=

    if %x% ==1 (goto :NEXT) else (GOTO :END1)


    :BEGINING
    :NEXT


    @echo off
    start /w c:\Eventcorder\Eventcorder.exe -a -fC:\Eventcorder\Takes\ExitCheckInn.ecf
    cls

    echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.
    echo                    PLEASE WAIT FOR BACKUP TO COMPLETE...

    It won't "work" in any OS.

    I made an error above; I thought the IF tests were wrongly coded (space before ==) but in fact they work. Please ignore.

      Can this Batch File be modified to Restore the last Backup
      « Reply #3 on: February 16, 2010, 06:38:50 PM »
      Hello Everybody,


      I am wondering if this batch file can be modified to use the last backup it did in case of Hard drive failure or crash?

      Thank you
