Winrar batch file?

[kabucek]

I want to compress big file (let’s say 13GB .bkf file). I want to have a batch file for that. Can anyone help me how to write such batch file? I have WinRar command line installed on my system. I’m using windows platform.

What is

rar.exe a %my_folder% -s

supposed to be doing?

You should be using something a little more along the lines of

rar a -m5 -mdg -v2097152k "%destpath%\%destname%.rar" "%my_folder%\%my_file%"

Also with a probable massive filesize you may wish to decrease the split archive sizes and use the -rv and /or -rr switches.

type

rar -?

in the appropriate directory for a full command and switch listing.
