I have created a 7zip script that backs up folders listed in the file c:\Backup\include.txt, however I am also trying to exclude certain files and folders which I have listed in the the file C:\Backup\exclude.txt, whilst it backs up all of the folders listed in include.txt, it does not exclude any files or folders listed in exclude.txt
I am using 7za v18.1
C:\Backup\7za.exe a -t7z -mx9 -v4g -x#C:\Backup\exclude.txt "F:\BackupFiles\7zipBackup.7z" #C:\Backup\include.txt
include.txt
C:\Users\Chris\Dropbox\
exclude.txt
C:\Users\Chris\Dropbox\Apps

Can anyone help?

Is it possible to copy only a group of files without erasing some files in destination folder.
I have a folder « One » with contain :
file-b.php
file-d.php
In folder « two », I have
file-a.php
file-b.php
file-c.php
file-d.php
I want to copy files from folder « One » to folder « two » I just want to replace file-b.php end file-d.php without erasing file-a.php and file-d.php
A the end, folder « two », should be like this :
file-a.php
file-b.php (modified)
file-c.php
file-d.php (modified)
I've tried various things with mv and cp without success.
I thought I should delete my question since I found a solution. In case it could help, here is my solution :
cp -Rf /path/to/folder-1/* /path/to/folder-2
-R instructs cp to copy files recursively (for example, a whole directory). To overwrite already existing files you should use the -f argument:
I am trying to backup some of the essential folders in the / in my ubuntu system. I am using
sudo rsync -aAXv --delete --include="/etc" --include="/home" --include="/usr/local" // /home/$USER/Desktop/bkup/
This command should only copy /etc, /home, /usr/local dirs and leave the rest of the files. But, when I run this command this copies every dir and every file in the / dir.
I am not sure what wrong I am doing here.
Includes without any excludes are meaningless.
--exclude='*' would exclude everything not explicitly included, from every subfolder, even the included ones.
--exclude='*/' would exclude every directory not explicitly included, but allow copying files within included directories (and the root).
--exclude='/*' would exclude all root directories and files not explicitly included, but allow all directories and files within included directories. You probably want this one.
You should add your exclude rule after your include rules. The rule is that, for each directory and file, it's the first matching include/exclude rule that matters, and the default (when no rule matches) is to include.
By "root" I mean the root of the copied directory, not the root of the whole file system.
P.S. Your command also has the destination directory inside the source directory; you probably want an exclude rule for that!
I'm trying to publish artifacts and it's other folders files as well.I've read all the docs file provide by microsoft from here and used them but none of them worked for me.
I' tried File patterns as
** =>which copied all root files to ftp
**\* => which copied all sub folders file to ftp's root directory.
What I've wanted is copy folder to folder in ftp aswell.
-artifacts ftp
--a.dll --a.dll
--subfolder --subfolder
---subfolder_1.dll ---subfolder_1.dll
what's happening is
ftp
--a.dll
--subfolder_1.dll
It's copying all sub directories file to root directory of ftp.
I've use curl and ftp both giving me same result.
How can i achieve folder to folder copy in TFS 2017.
It's not related File patterns, to upload the entire folder content recursively, simply specify **.
All you have to do is checking the Preserve file paths in Advanced option.
If selected, the relative local directory structure is recreated under
the remote directory where files are uploaded. Otherwise, files are
uploaded directly to the remote directory without creating additional
subdirectories.
For example, suppose your source folder is: /home/user/source/ and
contains the file: foo/bar/foobar.txt, and your remote directory
is: /uploads/. If selected, the file is uploaded to:
/uploads/foo/bar/foobar.txt. Otherwise, to: /uploads/foobar.txt.
I've been searching around for quite some time but nothing I've found seems to work for me.
I would really like to move the files to another folder on the same drive if possible just in-case the drive happens to be low on space. but none of the move scripts i found seemed to work for me.
i've tried using move, move-items, copy, xcopy, and even robocopy.
robocopy is the only one to work for me so far even tho its creating a new file, it also creates a subfolder that the file is in. in the new location.
so this how my work looks so far
D:\DVDBD-Projects\Project1\
Movie1\
Movie2\
Movie3\
there is a .mkv file in each movie folder and I would like to move the .mkv in each folder under projects to a new location without creating the folder it was originally in.
So the .mkv files will be moved to D:\DVDBD-Projects\Complete without any folders just mkv files.
This is my code
robocopy "D:\DVDBD-Projects\Project1" "D:\DVDBD-Projects\Complete" *.mkv /s
this will copy the files to the new location but also create the movie1 folder and so on. if i dont use the /s switch it wont look inside the subfolders and copy the files.
So i was hoping you guys could help me out, is there a way that i can copy or move just the .mkv files to the complete folder.
i plan on adding this code to script that encodes the movies from my camera so it saves me alot of point and clicking and cutting and pasting.
*note - looks like i can use this code
pushd "D:\DVDBD-Projects\Project1"
for /r %%a in (*.mkv) do (
MOVE "%%a" "D:\DVDBD-Projects\Complete\%%~nxa"
)
popd
this will take all files from subfolders and move them to the destination folder
i could probably also install xxcopy which extends xcopy which would allow me to copy the files from sub directories without creating new folders in the destination
for /f "delims=|" %%s in ('dir /ad/b') do robocopy "\\source\%%s\" "destination\" *.mkv /s
