Here's one of my DOS batch scripts that I still use to backup my source code
Can't imagine after all these years I'm still using DOS batch file and DOS Rar to help me with my daily backup.
useful because it compresses all the files in a folder using RAR and names the compressed file according to the date (yyyy-mm-dd).
@echo off
cls
echo Backing Up RHB Fin files
echo =============================
rar a -m5 -r c:\backup\rhbbackup%year%-%month%-%day% c:\www\rhbproj1
