PowerShell Compress-Archive
I have a monthly backup folder which contains daily backup from 1st day of the month to the last day of the month. How can i use PowerShell to zip each backup into the same folder or another folder all at once. I want the backup zip on a daily basis.
Parent folder is C:\January2022>
Childitems C:\Jan-1 through Jan-30
PS C:\Users\IT\TestFolder1> compress-Archive *.* -destinationpath C:\testfolder3\Test.zip
Above zip all contents at once into test.zip but i want separate childitem zip into destination.

- Your backups are in subfolders? Or all the backup in one folder?
Is your goal to compress each subfolder to a different .zip file?- All backups are in subfolders. And my goal is to compress each subfolder to a different .zip file. with just a command or script. With that I should be able to manage many backups at once.
