They're often used within different organisations to keep sensitive information from leaking to the press, the competition or simply internally. To make it work for 7z format, make following changes:Ĭhange target file name set DestZip=D:\Destinationtest\BACKUP.7zĮdit last line "%SevenZip%" a -mhe=on -pYourPassword "%DestZip%" -r "%BaseDir%\*.*"Īfter these changes, it will ask for password every time.A password-protected file is relatively self-explanatory in that it's set up to protect the security of the file from unwanted eyes.

It would have been easier for you if batch file was formatted properly. Set TimeStamp=%Year%%Month%%Day%_%Hour%%Minute%%Second%įor %%a in ("%DestZip%") do (set DestZip=%%~dpna-%TimeStamp%%%~xa) Set SevenZip=C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exeįor /f "tokens=1-9" %%a in ('wmic.exe Path Win32_LocalTime Get Day^,DayOfWeek^,Hour^,Minute^,Month^,Quarter^,Second^,WeekInMonth^,Year ^| find /v ""') do ( Set DestZip=D:\Destinationtest\BACKUP.zip Any idea where do I put the -p command to make it work? I tried but it is not working for me. I have a script below which is working perfectly, all I need is to add a password & encryption while compressing.
