Hi everybody,

I am trying to set up a scheduled backup. I will use wbadmin and not the
graphical interface, because the interface does not allow to backup to
remote servers.

I have created a command like this:

wbadmin start
backup -backupTarget:\\SLH\BackupWin\YODA\Montag\ -include:c:,d: -noverify -user:Administrator
-password:mypw -vssFull -quiet

Now, it would be nice to replace the part '\Montag\' with every day of the
week. Is there a function to do such replacement like %DAYOFWEEK% or
something similar? Where can I find documentation about such functions?

Thanks for your time

Ole
 
Re: wbadmin

Hi Ole,
I'm not a big scripter, but just my 2c.
What's stopping you from creating seven one-liners for each day of the week
and calling appropriate command each day of the week?
I apologize if that's dumb answer.

Why not post this over to the scripting group. They have many who are experts on scripting
