I have developed a simple script working on connecting a few of our users to specific server and then use Xcopy to copy their data from a shared folder to their BC’s as a backup date on a weekly bases. The copied data will be saved with the name of date & time as:
Data backup(Main folder)\Backup 2004-04-28 12-00-01 then
Backup 2004-05-03 12-00-01 and so on.

Since this process is cumulative, the size of data backup folder will be increased gradually. Therefore, I am using a compress command to reduce the used space on the user BC.

SHELL '%COMSPEC% /E:1024 /C fileattributes.pl -change -compress ON -recurse E:\Data_Backup'
-compress mode: Specifies whether the "compress" file attribute should be enabled or disabled. Valid values to pass with the switch are ON or OFF.
-recurse: Change file and directory attribute recursively on all files and folders in the specified directory path(s).

I found fileattributes.pl within windows 2000 resource kite which installed on my computer additional to active perl and that’s why the command worked on my BC but it does not on the user BC’s because it is missing Perl Dll files.

Since it is imposable to install Perl on the users BC, any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
