Hi PDF,
The -d thingie is weird, it works for me. The zip file is created in savedgames and then moved to <archdir>, so it's safe to say, that the 'move' command failed.
- the archdir *must* exist. This is an anachronism from the early development, and it also means, that the #turn substitution doesn't work (except you're busy creating directorys). I'll fix that soon.
- It might be a /\ problem. Unfortunately I don't have XP at home.
You might fire up a shell and start dom3backup manually. Most likely it throws an exception & most likely 'path not found' (shame on me, I didn't catch exceptions)
With regard to a 'restore' command, I image that dom3backup on XP with it's stone age shell is really hard to use. However the public interest isn't exactly overwhelming. I admit that the thing is hard to setup (only partly my fault) and that writing user documentation isn't my strongest side. But atm I'm not sure if I continue public development. Programming is fun for me, writing documentation not.
I will however try my hands on the pbem tool, if only cause I'm curious how python handles mime (which seems quite reasonable, another chance lost to bash python on #python-lang

). So thanks for volunteering.
