Operating Systems 1 Lab 4 – DOS Batch File Creation

DOS Batch File Creation

In this lab I began by creating two text files in notepad. I added the same text into both and saved them. I then created a third file, added some specific text to it and saved it as a .bat file, which is a backup file. Next I navigated through MS DOS to where I saved the files and then I entered in the name of the third file, MakeABackup. MS DOS executed the piece of text in this file which then created a copy of the previous two text files and saved these copies as a backup.
