Dear all,

i´m a newbie in Powershell and try to create a backup strategy with Powershell.
i will create an backup on every last thursday in month.
now my question.
how can i start such a script?

do i need first the current-date and then type get-date to get the time between the last thursday in month and the current date?

thanks in advance...

Andy

This logic works for today, so should work in your case also:

$day=(Get-Date).DayOfWeek
$month=(Get-Date).Month

$next=((Get-Date).AddDays(7)).Month

if($next -ne $month){"Last day of month"}

thank you Marco.
but can you explain it a little bit more, please. i´m a newbie with powershell and would like to create a backup every thursday in a month.

i try.
$day=(Get-Date).DayOfWeek - so i need to confirm this is thursday?
$month=(Get-Date).Month - so it should be every month in a year

$next=((Get-Date).AddDays(7)).Month - here i should confirm for thursday not 7 but 4 for thursday?

thank you...

Andy
