What a super program you have produced - it does all my backups in a fraction of the time I was spending on the task in the old days. Thanks a lot.

ZipBackup Command Line Options

ZipBackup can be run with command line options to set certain features or to automate processing of backups. The following command line options are available in ZipBackup:

  • /Backup - Perform an automatic backup without prompting the user. Either the Job or Source command line must be set.
  • /Job - Define the job to automatically back up. There can not be any space between Job and the job name.
  • /Source - The source folder for an automatic backup. You can backup a group of folders by including them in a text file where the command line option is Source followed by the '@' sign and the location of the text file. There can not be a space between Source and the source file or folder.
  • /Dest - The destination path and file name for the backup.
  • /Explorer - Automatically start ZipBackup Explorer. Without this option, ZipBackup will start in the ZipBackup Wizard.
  • /OverwriteZip - Automatically overwrites existing Zip files. The OverwriteZip command only automatically overwrites zip files when performing an automatic backup.

Examples:

The following will run the backup job MyBackupJob.zb.
"C:\Program Files\zipbackup\zipbackup.exe" /backup "/jobC:\My Documents\MyBackupJob.zb"

The following will backup the folder C:\My Documents\Word Documents to the C:\My Backups\Word Backup.zip.
"C:\Program Files\zipbackup\zipbackup.exe" /backup "/sourceC:\My Documents\Word Documents" "/destC:\My Backups\Word Backup.zip"

The following line will backup the folders listed in the file C:\My Documents\Backup folders.txt to the file C:\My Backups\Multiple Folders.zip.
"C:\Program Files\zipbackup\zipbackup.exe" /backup "/source@C:\My Documents\Backup folders.txt" "/destC:\My Backups\Multiple Folders.zip"
