Preparing the backup

# bkp_folder=~/wazuh_files_backup/$(date +%F_%H:%M) # mkdir -p $bkp_folder && echo $bkp_folder
> set datetime=%date%-%time% > set datetime=%datetime: =_% > set datetime=%datetime:/=-% > set datetime=%datetime::=_% > set datetime=%datetime:.=_% > set bkp_folder=%userprofile%\wazuh_files_backup\%datetime% > mkdir %bkp_folder% && echo %bkp_folder%
# bkp_folder=~/wazuh_files_backup/$(date +%F_%H:%M) # mkdir -p $bkp_folder && echo $bkp_folder
