7z: Zip MySQL Database Dump File via Batch File
First, get 7zip Command Line here.
Next, unzip to your desired directory – mine is in C:7za920
.
Based on my previous post, MySQL: Backup Database using Batch File. Add the following lines after echo Database Backups Completed
and before pause
.
cd C:7za920 7za a myapp_db_%datestr%.zip D:BACKUPSmyapp_%datestr%.sql >Log.txt 2>&1 echo Zipping Backups Completed
Now you are done! Execute the batch file to see the result!
p/s: >Log.txt 2>&1
used for creating a log file for all the process to zip the file.
