Salam to All,
Following are few backup batch files that I have used at my office to perform backup operation using scheduled backup tasks. I am posting them just for reference so they can be used as archiving or possibly useful for others too having same task.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Few days back, a new oracle server was added in our IT dept. It is an oracle database server which serves many users request in our company. There was an annoying manual backup task that we have to perform on it on daily basis , the :@ task was to run 2 shortcut which creates backup dump files in E: drive, and then we have to manually rename the 2 dump files according to current date and then move them in other date-wise folder.
Quite annoying , isn’t it ? I mean still do we have to perform simple tasks like taking backup manually where every task is being done Automatically ?
Stupid enough ! 
It was quite easy to do this task automatically in LINUX environment, but as currently i am working in MS (Microshit or Microsoft environment) I manage to done it with built-in DOS commands. Following is the complete dos batch file or call it the Backup script 
, I just added in Schedule task, Now it runs daily and saves my time.

To delete files olde then X days using FORFILES
forfiles /p “C:\test” /s /m *.* /c “cmd /c del @path” /d -15
Change /d -15 to match your requirements. you can change the del command to any other like to show the files, use echo. FORFILES is builtin command with Windwos 2003 /7. You can download it from
http://www.ipass.net/davesisk/forfiles.zip
Delete Files Over 15 Days Old using ROBOCOPY
set _robodel=%TEMP%\~robodel
MD %_robodel%
ROBOCOPY “C:\source_folder” %_robodel% /move /minage:15
del %_robodel% /q
Batch File to create SQL Backup
First create .sql file that can be called from batch file to create any specific DB backup.
for example c:\zaibdb.sql
BACKUP DATABASE [Promo] TO DISK = N'D:\DataBaseBackup\zaibdb.Bak' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'Promo-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO
now create a batch file which will call the above .sql file to start backup.
for example c:\start_backup.bat
@echo off echo Creating FULL backup in D:\zaibdb.back echo %Date% >> D:\DataBaseBackup\zaibdb.txt sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -i c:\zaibdb.sql > D:\DataBaseBackup\zaibdb.txt echo. echo Done rem ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 > null echo . >> D:\DataBaseBackup\zaibdb.txt echo This backup set was last created at %Date% >> D:\DataBaseBackup\zaibdb.txt echo.
Another Backup script that map remote server folder locally
and then copy the required files and then delete the files older then 20 days
@echo off rem Syed Jahanzaib / ??? (Pvt) Ltd. IS Dept. rem This file will copy the today's SAP exports and cofiles only to files_server\export folder, rem which is actually mapped locally as B: drive. rem # rem # rem # rem # Mapping files_server Folder via agpis Credentials net use B: \\files_server\ rem # Copying Last Date Export files to \\file-server\B:\export folder forfiles -p "J:\required_folder" -s -m *.* -d 0 -c "cmd /c copy @path B:\" rem # Copying Last Date cofiles data to \\file-server\B:\cofiles folder forfiles -p "J:\required_folder" -s -m *.* -d 0 -c "cmd /c copy @path B:\" rem # Deleting export older then 20 Days . . . forfiles -p "J:\required_folder" -s -m *.* -d -20 -c "cmd /c del @path" rem # Deleting cofiles Logs older then 20 Days . . . forfiles -p "J:\required_folder" -s -m *.* -d -20 -c "cmd /c del @path"
.
Daily Backup of Required Folder using ROBOCOPY
Robocopy method which will copy only new file by matching source and destination folder/file timstamps. Its much better as it displays results in command prompt with percentage and all the necessary info any admin want. 
its my favorite. You can downlod Robocopy by downloading Microsoft Resource Kit from following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17657
@echo off Robocopy /E /LOG+:h:\Softwares\Servers_Related\mail-backup-log.txt B:\archive\. T:\backup\archive Robocopy /E /LOG+:h:\Softwares\Servers_Related\mail-backup-log.txt T:\mailserver\c$\mt\. T:\backup\mt Robocopy /E /LOG+:h:\Softwares\Servers_Related\mail-backup-log.txt T:\mailserver\mail\. T:\backup\mail
The above commands description is as follows.
/E = Copy sub-directories, including Empty ones
/LOG+ = Output status to LOG file (append to existing log, so previous entries along with new one should be saved together, if you don’t use + , it will overwrite existing log-file, means delete old entries and overwrite new one)).
XCOPY Method
Following file will copy all the data from the source folder to target folder using windows builtin copy tool XCOPY.
@echo off echo * * * >> C:\backup-log.txt echo Mail Backup Starts at %date% - %time% >> C:\backup-log.txt C:\windows\system32\xcopy.exe B:\source-folder\*.* T:\targetfolder /S /D /C /Y echo Mail Backup Ends at %date% - %time% >> C:\backup-log.txt echo * * * >> C:\backup-log.txt
The above commands description is as follows.
/S = Copies directories and sub-directories except empty ones.
/D = If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
/C = Continues copying even if errors occur.
/Y = Overwrite existing files if any without prompting, its necessary when you are running xcopy via batch / script file.
