batchbackup

Simple batch script for backing up stuff. (In my case used for my unraid appdata folder)

• The script first checks for an internet connection by pinging the Google DNS server (8.8.8.8) and waits until a connection is established.
• The script then defines a list of folders to exclude from the backup (specified after /e /xo /r:0 /np /xd ) and the backup source and destination folders (specified by the backupSource and backupDestination variables).
• The script creates a new folder in the backup destination directory with a timestamped name and sets it as the current directory.
• The script uses the robocopy command to copy all the files and subdirectories from the backup source directory to the current directory, excluding the folders specified after /e /xo /r:0 /np /xd
• After the backup is complete, the script checks if there are more than 10 .zip files in the backup destination directory and deletes the oldest .zip files to save disk space.
• Finally, the script compresses the backup folder into a .zip file, deletes the original backup folder, and outputs a log message indicating that the backup is complete.

Note: This script assumes that the 7z.exe command-line tool is installed and added to the system PATH for compressing the backup folder into a .zip file. If it's not installed, you can download it from the 7-Zip website and add it to the system PATH manually.

The reason for the temp folder is to prevent cloud errors. (If the backupDestination is OneDrive or Nextcloud, it would start to sync the folder before the .zip is made)
