Thank you. I don't have a "7za" program I just have "7z". Does that make a difference? Also I don't want to just "a"dd files to the archive I want to "u"pdate them too. Will this work with the u command? I will try it shortly. Also the help screen from 7z says put the switches before any filenames like this: 7-Zip 24.01 (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2024 Igor Pavlov : 2024-01-31 Usage: 7z <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...] [@listfile] Is it ok to put switches like you did after...

@deyan will your command work with a .zip file or do I have to use a .7z file?

I'm using the command line version of 7zip v24.01 (x64) on Windows 10. I prefer to use it in a .bat file. Key points: I want to backup all my .py files in 50+ project directories but ignore all files in the .venv\ subdirectories of all projects. I don't want to specify in a backup.lst file every project directory where I want to back up files. I want to recurse and backup files to a .zip file uzing 7zip or gzip on Windows. I want to use 7zip to backup python programs. I have 50+ program directories...

I have 50+ program directories where I want to backup just my .py and .md and .bat files. We add more directories every month.
