echo "Start backup"
Get-Date

$dateNow = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd"
$backupDriveLetter="f:"
$destDirName = "xahbackup_$dateNow"
$destDirPath = (join-path $backupDriveLetter $destDirName )
$xahWebGitDestDir = "xahweb_${dateNow}.git.zip"
$gitCommand = "git --git-dir='c:/Users/xah/web/.git/' archive -o '$backupDriveLetter/$xahWebGitDestDir' HEAD"
