Hardcoding a destination path in my backup file script 1

[bazil2]

Can anyone please advise if the following is possible ...

I have a backup script (.bat file) shown below, that copies certain files on my computer to a backup location using a scheduled task.

At the moment, the script copies the files to an undesirable path, would it be possible to copy the backup files to H:\Backup\

Best regards

If you are trying to back up a server running apache, you might be better off asking in an apache forum here. With that said, how is the undesirable path being passed in? As parameter %1? If so just change the parameter when the batch file is called.

Many thanks!

I'll investigate that; I think the web server is tomcat, I also noted that there is a secondary .bat nested in this script that I need to investigate.

Best regards
