Using Batch Files to Back Up Data

You can perform backup operations from batch files using the ntbackup command followed by various command line parameters. The ntbackup command you can only backup folders and cannot specify individual files. However, you can use a backup selection file (.bks) from the command line, which contains a list of files you want to back up. You can use Backup to create backup selection files. The ntbackup command does not support the use of wildcard characters . For example, typing *.doc will not back up files with a .doc extension. To start a backup using ntbackup, click the Start button, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, click Command Prompt, type ntbackup folder name , and then press Enter.
