PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip

I am trying to backup a folder with the following command in a batch file:

PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

but PACOMP stores the filenames with not just the relative paths from the current directory but the relative paths from the directory above ( .. ) which I don't want.

Is this a bug or am I missing something.

Hello, IS THERE ANYBODY THERE???

can you output filelist to the file and show it here so we can see what you exactly mean?

Hi Brian!
I have tried recreate your problem, but for me it's working as expected or maybe I'm not doing exactly the same as you are. Anyway, this is what I have tried.

I'm in the folder C:\Programs\Test which have 3 subfolders. My bat file look like this:

Code:

PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

Saved as Backup.bat in folder C:\Programs\Test

I then run the bat file from a CMD window in the folder C:\Programs\Test

Code:

C:\Programs\Test>Backup.bat



C:\Programs\Test>PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

The path looks ok for me, it's from the current folder Test and then the subfolders. I don't get any parent folders above the Test folder.

Thanks.

But when you list the contents of the archive you created they are stored as, for example:

Code:

Test\Amiga\Amiga XP x86.pdf

Why would anyone want "Test\" at the beginning?
It wouldn't be there is I'd used the GUI PowerArchiver and it's does nothing except complicate the process of extracting the contents of the archive to any place I should want to extract it to.

Hi!

When I list the contents of an archive created with PA the relative pathnames is correct.

I didn't notice this before, thanks for the info.

logged in, thanks ppl!!

BTW, workaround here is to use full path to the folder for file selection and that seems to work fine...
