More DOS batch fun

Recently I needed to create a simple way to backup alot of website's log files. The directory structure is such:


C:\DemoSites\
 |
 |----\Demo1
 |    |
 |    |-----\Logs
 |
 |----\Demo2
 |    |
 |    |-----\Logs
 |
 |----\Demo3
 |    |
 |    |-----\Logs
 |
 |----\Demo4
 |    |
 |    |-----\Logs
 |
... etc

... So I need to backup the log files inside each "Logs" directory, in a loop...

Here is the batch file that takes care of it:

   01: @ECHO OFF

02:

   03: :: Get Today's Date in YYYYMMDD Format...

   04: for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date/t') do (set datevar=%%c%%a%%b)

05:

   06: :: For each subdirectory of C:\DemoSites, Zip all log files in their Logs directories...

   07: for /D %%d in (C:\DemoSites\*) do (

   08:     if exist %%d\Logs (

   09:         for /F "tokens=5 delims= " %%k in ('dir %%d\..\.') do (

   10:             if exist %%d\..\%%k\Logs\*.* (

   11:                 if not exist C:\Backup\archive_%%k-Logs_%datevar%.zip (

   12:                     \util\zip -9 -j C:\Backup\archive_%%k-Logs_%datevar%.zip %%d\..\%%k\Logs\*.*

   13:                 )

   14:             )

   15:         )

   16:     )

   17: )

[ Note: I'm using Info-Zip to compress the log files. ]

Note: This applies to Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008... Ever get sick of having a different SQL Job for each database backup? I created this method for backing up all databases (filtered) in a cursor. Just create a job with this as the Step and give the Job a schedule... 01: DECLARE @dbName varchar (50) 02: DECLARE @BKPDate varchar (10) 03: DECLARE @sql nvarchar (1000) 04: SET @BKPDate = replace ( convert ( varchar (10), getdate (), 102), '.' , '' ) 05: DECLARE bkpCursor CURSOR FOR 06: 07: /* only backup non-system databases */ 08: select [Name] from sys.databases where [owner_sid] <> 0x01 09: 10: OPEN bkpCursor 11: FETCH NEXT FROM bkpCursor INTO @dbName 12: IF @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 13: BEGIN 14: WHILE ( @@FETCH_STATUS = 0) 15: BEGIN 16: set @sql = 17: ' BACKUP DATABASE ' + @dbName + 18: ' TO...

I hate repeating code and sometimes generics can make things a bit easier. One of the things that needs to be done a lot with Drop-down lists is adding a "Please Select" as the first option, but I don't particularly like doing that in the data layer (stored procedure, etc.). I like to add that to the list, but why repeat the same code for every Drop-down list if there are several on the page? Here is one way I like to take care of that: Here are the supporting Classes: 01: #region Supporting Classes 02: public interface IReportObject { 03: int ID { get; set; } 04: string Name { get; set; } 05: } 06: public class CSP : IReportObject { 07: public int ID { get; set; } 08: public string Name { get; set; } 09: } 10: public class Base : IReportObject { 11: public int ID { get; set; } 12: public string Name { get; set; } 13: } 14: public class Property : IReportObject { 15: public int...
