#24080 - 2002-06-28 08:16 PM NTBACKUP SCRIPT
mikew50 mikew50 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-11-15 Posts: 17 Loc: NJ	I am trying to get this script to work. I have the 1st part working which runs NTBACKUP. But i cannot get the second part to work which goes out, gets the log file, renames it, and copies it to a designated place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Problem script: ; DATE : 6/28/2002 ; ; COMMENT: Copies NT Backup log files to specified location, renames them to date of Backup ; ======================================================================== ;Break on CLS ; ======================================================================== $server = "@WKSTA" ; Server name $logdir = "\\$server\backup" ;Share where NTBACKUP log files exist $logfile = "\\$server\backup\.log" ;Logfiles $logdest = "\\ocnfp2\it_share\backups ;Destination of log files $buday = @MDAYNO" - "1" ; ======================================================================== ;Rename log file ; ======================================================================== select case exist ("$logdir\backup01.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup01.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup02.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup02.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup03.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup03.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup04.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup04.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup05.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup05.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup06.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup06.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup08.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup08.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup09.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup09.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' case exist ("$logdir\backup10.log") shell '%comspec% /c ren "$logdir\backup10.log" "$buday @month @year.log"' endselect sleep 2 copy "$logdir\."

I am still stuck one the: $buday = "@MDAYNO" - "1" I am trying to get it to subtract one day before renaming the file. Does this look right to you. I am getting the error: Script error : error in expression.! Thanks again for the help. The more I learn about Kix I realize the more I need to know.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	...I'm trying to understand the logic of $buday = @MDAYNO" - "1" If you are trying to roll the number back 1 day, then it is flawed. Hell, it's flawed anyway. If doing math, don't put quotes around it. The flaw part is if @MDAYNO = 1 - 1 then it's 0. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I see Dean beat me to the draw. If the day is 0 then you have to roll the month back as well. If you are going to get that complex then check the UDF section for date math stuff. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	You may want to consider using GetFileTime() instead. To get just the date portion try something like this: Left(GetFileTime("C:\file.tst"),10) _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
