I have directory with *.wek files. Each day some application adds there about 10 new files. I want to archive only those 10 new files at certain time of the day. I've read about 7-zip mechanism but i haven't found how do i filter files for dates so only this day files will be archived. Any help? thanks. | |||||

I'm confused about what you're trying to do. Option 1: Why not just zip the entire directory? The zip process doesn't care if there were 10 files yesterday, and 10 new ones that it added today. Option 2: Create a batch file that deletes yesterday's zip file, then creates a new one for today. Option 3: Create a batch file that archives the *.wek files one at a time. If the archived file already exists, don't do anything to that file. Code for Option 3: :: This file will backup *.wek files into *.wek.zip :: i.e., abc.wek gets zipped into abc.wek.zip :: If the matching zip file already exists, the original file does not get backed up. :: i.e., if cde.wek.zip already exists, then cde.wek does not get backed up :: IMPORTANT: :: change \path\to\files (below) to the correct path to your files that need to be backed up :: change \path\to\archives (below, twice) to the correct location of your backup folder :: change c:\tools\7zip\7za.exe (below) to the correct path to the 7-zip command-line tool :: :: make sure we're on the C drive C: :: change to our data directory cd \path\to\files :: create the backups for %%k in (*.wek) do if not exist "c:\path\to\archives\%%k.zip" c:\tools\7zip\7za.exe a "c:\path\to\archives\%%k.zip" "%%k" | |||
