PowerShell Compress-Archive

[VictorLanso]

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.

Thanks.

Here you go: https://github.com/Raindrops-dev/RAIN-TechCommunityContributions/blob/main/Start-SubfolderCompressio...

Read the .Example code at the top for the parameters to use when calling the script.

This script not only work locally, but works across domain networks to compress files and move it to the desired location on the network.
