Ask everyone:
I want to set up a batch script to automatically delete empty folders every day, because the automatic backup program I made will copy empty folders.

Which command does your automatic backup program use? Check if that command has a built-in switch to skip empty folders.

The batch processing is written like this:
robocopy D:\ \\zhixinserver\%computername%\Other_new_files\Disk_D *.doc *.xls *.ppt *.dwg *.cdr *.pdf /s /xa:h /maxage:30 /mir
I only want the files that have been updated in the last 30 days. Files older than this date are automatically deleted. But when I add /mir, empty folders appear.

Can /PURGE and /S be used instead of /MIR?

This is the code in the forum, I will quote it:

:Delete all empty directories that are not read-only in the directory tree

for /f "delims=" %a in ('dir/a/s/b^|sort /r')do rd "%a" 2>nul

Okay, thank you very much! Now there's no need to figure out how to delete empty folders.

There's another question I'd like to ask:
When backing up with the above command, can certain folders be excluded from the operation, such as "recycled", which is the recycle bin.

Or you don't need to back up hidden folders. Because "recycled" is a hidden folder

You must be careful when reading the help document ^_^

Thanks, my English is not very good, I can't understand it very well, but after being specified, I still understand it, and it worked, but a new problem appeared:
When backing up, I want to exclude {Documents and Settings}, but if I write it in, the computer thinks it is three folders, namely "Documents", "and", "Settings". How can I make it recognize it as one folder.

Try adding double quotes for directories with spaces.

HAT is really amazing, knows everything, and it worked at first try.

HAT, hello, I don't know how to address you? Thank you for solving a series of problems for me during this time. It has enabled me to learn a lot and has been of great help to my work. There are still three post problems, which are more troublesome. I don't know if you haven't seen them or I want to ask for advice. Even providing some ideas would be good. The post topics are as follows:
1. Batch create users by reading computer names and passwords from files
2. Synchronize server time with administrator privileges
3. Detect and automatically cancel sharing
4. How to make computers in the LAN back up in a specified order

I'm getting a new issue when using the following code:
robocopy C:\ \\zhixinserver\%computername%\Other_new_files\Disk_F *.doc *.xls *.ppt *.dwg *.cdr *.pdf /xd "Documents and Settings" "Program Files" recycler recycled WINDOWS winnt /xa:h /maxage:30 /PURGE /S
The target folder is not files updated within 30 days, but an incremental backup.

4. How to make LAN computers back up in a specified order

Try to search more by yourself before asking
For the first one, write user passwords in the format of username : pass in the file, read them with for, then use
net user username \"pass\" /add
net localgroup administrators username /add
To add, replace administrators with users for adding restricted users

For the second one, first modify the registry to specify the time synchronization server, specifically see
http://bbs.nfan.org/read.php?tid=42382

For the third one, I don't know if you want to cancel or disable
net share c$ /delete
net share d$ /delete
....
For disabling, just use net stop Server to disable the service directly

For the fourth one, I don't understand, what does specified order backup mean ..

Friend on the 14th floor, thank you. I also spent a long time looking up these problems before posting. For the third one, I want to prohibit the use of the sharing function. I would like to ask: net stop Server, I have learned that it will stop all network servers, including the messenger and so on. Can I only stop the sharing service?
