batch script and SharePoint backup smigrate

fluff

Hello.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I haven't been able to get an answer at the microsoft/sharepoint forum.

I've been using this on the command prompt to make backups of sharepoint:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

smigrate -w http://siteIWantToBackUp/ -f x:\LocationToSaveBk\fileName.fwp

I wanted a batch file and a schedule to run everyday, but I wanted the file name to be a variable so that it would be a different name everytime it was backed up. I wanted the file name to be the date of the backup.

I don't know anything about batch file programming, but someone gave me this code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

set fname=%DATE:~0,4%%DATE:~5,2%%DATE:~8,2%

fname would be "Thr" on thursday.

So I tried to use this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 set fname=%DATE:~0,4%%DATE:~5,2%%DATE:~8,2%

smigrate -w http://siteIWantToBackUp/ -f x:\LocationToSaveBk\%fname%.fwp

and it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for your time and help.

I'll just borrow this text from NeoPa:

You have asked your question in another member's thread. This is called thread hijacking and is not allowed on this site. There are various reasons for this, the principal of which is that it typically diverts the flow of the thread away from his needs and into yours. Another is that it will tend to mean that your new question is not seen as such, and may get overlooked by many of our experts (You appreciate that they're not looking for answered questions).
Please post your questions in their own threads in future (See How to Ask a Question).

You already opened your own thread here, so please stick to that one.
