--archive.bat:--"C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" a archive.zip C:\Pictures\pr0n\*.jpgsnapshot archive.zip--snapshot.vbs:--Dim WShellSet WShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")WShell.Run ("cmd /c move " + Wscript.Arguments(0) + " C:\Documents\Boring_Financial_Records\Tax_Returns\Tax_Returns.zip"Set WShell = Nothing

- To back up a spreadsheet of financial records daily:
--archive.bat:--"C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" a archive.zip C:\Documents\DailyExpenses.xls"snapshot archive.zip--snapshot.vbs:--Dim FriendlyDateFriendlyDate = Replace(Date, "/", "-")Dim WShellSet WShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")WShell.Run ("cmd /c move " + Wscript.Arguments(0) + " C:\Documents\Boring_Financial_Records\Tax_Returns\Tax_Returns.zip"Set WShell = Nothing

I'm sure you get the idea- replace the bits of the code that determine the file names it deals with with your own, that's all it needs.
