Batch backup program

[tydraestor]

I've been having problems with my program, it simply doesn't work, everything I've found makes me think i just can't do it in batch. I want the program to sense when a program is opened, then copy a certain file to a backup, I would also like it to do back it up when it's closed, I havent attempted this part yet. Code below

 

 

@Echo off

:a

pause

for /F "tokens=2" %%i in ('date /t') do set mydate=%%i set mytime=%time%

pause

If tasklist /FI "imagename eq notepad.exe" / NH | find /I /N "notepad.exe" > NUL

(

pause

Echo Server Started!

pause

Goto :b

)

else

(

echo Server is closed!

)

Goto :a

:b

If tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" > nul(

Copy C:\Users\TCLabA\Desktop\copy\Important.txt C:\Users\TCLabA\Desktop\paste\backup-%mydate%-%mytime%.txt

echo File Copied!

pause

sleep(1)

echo File pasted!

)

Goto :c

:c

exit
