upgrade_export - file already exists scripting problem

[karimi]

Hello,

i'm using the following batch file on Windows to backup the smartcenter:

#
upgrade_export E:\Backups\YRP_Firewall_Backups\YRP_Backup < cr.txt
#

However, since a backup file already exists, upgrade_export runs, it will say:

The target export file already exists. Do you want to override it?
(y/n) [n] ?

How can I script it such that it sends a "-y" overwrite option, or can I use a $DATE flag like UNIX? Don't know how to do this in Windows!

Thanks!!

create a "makro" with texteditor -> makro.mak and enter needed value -> Y for Yes or N for No, what ever

run your command e.g. copy test.txt test.txt < makro.mak

Overwrite test.txt? (Yes/No/All): Y
1 file(s) copied.

hope it helps!

For date flag in windows u can use:

for /F %%i in ('time /t') do set ZEIT=%%i
for /F "tokens=1,2,* delims=:" %%i in ('echo %zeit%') do set OZeit=%%i%%j
for /F %%i in ('date /t') do set DATUM=%%i
for /F "tokens=1,2,* delims=." %%i in ('echo %datum%') do set RDATUM=%%k%%j%%i

This is working with German settings. With english time output on command line you may have to change it a little bit...
Hope it helps!
