I have written the batch program bellow and need help in redirecting the output the program puts up on screen into a log file as a permanet record. Any help would be gratefuly appreciated thanks. @ECHO OFF IF %3==### GOTO PError IF NOT %3==### GOTO PError CLS IF NOT EXIST %1\*.* GOTO SError CHOICE Is the backup DESTINATION a root directory IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO Standard IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Root :Standard IF NOT EXIST %2\*.* GOTO MakeDir IF EXIST %2\*.* GOTO SkipMakeDir :MakeDir CLS CHOICE The DESTINATION directory is invalid, do you want it created IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO DError IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Continue :Continue CLS MD %2 XCOPY %1 %2\%1 /E/I/F/-Y IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO DError GOTO Complete :SkipMakeDir CLS XCOPY %1 %2\%1 /E/I/F/-Y IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO DError GOTO Complete :Root CLS XCOPY %1 %2%1 /E/I/F/-Y IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO DError GOTO Complete :PError ECHO ******************************************************************* ECHO * Too many Perameters,use only two i.e.Backup[Source Destination] * ECHO ******************************************************************* GOTO END :SError ECHO ************************************************* ECHO * Invalid Source Dirctory Please Restart Backup * ECHO ************************************************* GOTO END :DError ECHO ******************************************************* ECHO * Invalid Destination Directory Please Restart Backup * ECHO ******************************************************* GOTO END :complete ECHO ******************* ECHO * Backup Complete * ECHO ******************* :END
