Given the dir structure:
x\Code
x\Script\Backup.ps1
Backup.ps1 contains:
$BackupDirectoy = "..\Backup"
$CodeDirectory = "..\Code"
function BackupCurrentVersion()
{
New-Item $BackupDirectoy -type directory -force
Copy-Item $CodeDirectory -destination $BackupDirectory -recurse
}
BackupCurrentVersion
I'm doing something wrong because Code gets copied in x\Script\Code instead of x\Backup\Code
What is the problem?
These paths are going to be relative to the current dir your prompt is sitting in when you run the script. I suspect you don't want that but want to run relative to where the script is located. Try this if this is the case:
