Script that backs up World of Warcraft user interface configuration files to a github repo

WowBackupScript

WowBackup utilises git to back up and keep a version history of your World of Warcraft AddOn config files.

Setup

1. Download the script git clone https://github.com/Arwic/WowBackupScript
2. Open Wowbackup.bat in a text editor and change the values of wowdir and gitremote to your desired locations. wowdir should be the root of your World of Warcraft installation and gitremote should be an empty repo you have created on a service like GitHub or Bitbucket (Bitbucket has free private repos if you would like your config files to be private)
3. Click start and search for "Task Scheduler"
4. Click "Create Basic Task" under the Actions menu on the right
5. Name your task "WowBackup" and click next
6. Select "Daily" and click next
7. Select the time at which you would like backups to be run (I use 10:00:00 PM)
8. Ensure "Recur every" is set to 1 and click next
9. Select "Start a program" and click next
10. Click "Browse...", locate WowBackup.vbs, and click next
11. Click finish
