Here's my batch file for incremental backups & encryption:
@echo off
set path=c:\utils\backup;e:\backups\h-drive
set tz=met-1dst
c:\utils\arj\arj32 a -r -hm0 -i2 -h# -jm -b1 -x!c:\utils\backup\h-exclude.txt
e:\backups\h-drive\h- h:\*.*
c:\utils\backup\pgp23 -e -w e:\backups\h-drive\h-*.arj Karin Spaink
I'll break up the last two lines:
c:\utils\arj\arj32
That's where my arj32.exe resides;
a -r -hm0 -i2 -h# -jm -b1 -x!c:\utils\backup\h-exclude.txt
The switches for arj.exe:
a = archive
-r = use recursive directories
-hm0 = to manage huge file lists
-i2 = provides a combined percentage and bar progress display
-h# = append current date/time string
-jm = select high size reduction
-b1 = backup changed files and reset archive bits
-x[x] = exclude the files named in [x]
e:\backups\h-drive\h- h:\*.*
Bsckup target and backup source
This results in files in the format H-010223.arj (for 23 Feb
2001). In the last line, this file is encrypted
(conventional encryption), using the key stored in the
backup directory:
c:\utils\backup\pgp23 -e -w e:\backups\h-drive\h-*.arj Karin Spaink
-e = encrypt file
-w = wipe original
That's it. It's executed in well under five minutes, using a
P600.
