backup with DISM batch script

lazyBackup

Backup with DISM batch script.

Filename is created automaticly using computername (needs to be set, lazyBackup will ask for it) and date on automaticly chosen or set drive - adding directory on backup drive called "WIM"

Has to be started from any winPE enviroment if you want to backup system (i.e. windows) partition.

A script, because I was to lazy to do regular backups of a whole partition with DISM. Lots of other backup programs didn't work for me, because they either had to be installed or can't restore a working partition on different hatrdware or different sized partition.

DISM, included in windows, can do that! The regular Windows setup basically copies a WIM-Image produced by DISM to a selected partiton.

lazyBackup looks for certain files:

• .DRIVETOBACKUP - put in root of drive to be backup, if not found lazyBackup asks for the drive letter to be backed up
• .BACKUPSTORE - put in root of drive to store the backup, if not found asks for the drive letter of drive to store the backup
• .USBBACKUPSTORE - put in root of any external drive (e.g. USB) to store the backup, if found it's prefered to drive with .BACKUPSTORE

lazybackup's Issues

lazybackup uses last found drive, not first one

for loop looking for file ".backupdrive" or others uses last found one
