I use a Windows .cmd (formerly known as .bat files) script to back up some
of my applications:
----------------------8<--snip-----------------------------------------
:: backup script for windows registry keys and some files
:: with date in backup filename
:: Build a DTS variable
:: Using for/do, pull apart the output of date/t
set parsearg="eol=; tokens=1,2,3* delims=., "
for /F %parsearg% %%i in ('date/t') do set dts=%%k%%j%%i
:: set program paths and folder locations
set winzipcall=C:\Programme\Utils\WinZip\wzzip
set regeditcall=C:\Windows\regedit
set xcopycall=C:\Windows\system32\xcopy
set tempdir=C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Roman\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\
set backupdir=E:\backup\automated\
%regeditcall% /e "%tempdir%thebat.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT"

You will probably have to alter the lines
set parsearg="eol=; tokens=1,2,3* delims=., "
for /F %parsearg% %%i in ('date/t') do set dts=%%k%%j%%i
because they depend on the locale of your system.
You need the WinZip command line add-on.
Make a link on your desktop or run this automated.
