I try and error over 30 times for building.

:Loop Unpack Big files Compile step 1 ...... step N Remove ALL files Goto Loop

Can you create a Backup/Restore.bat for backup/restore patching files ONLY ? I can save time and boring time.

Unpack Big files :Loop Backup.bat Compile step 1 ...... step N Restore.bat Goto Loop

I suggest to use a version control system like SVN or GIT (why reinvent the wheel?). Prepare your source-directory, check it in to your version control system server, apply patches,do a commit. If patches get updates, do a revert to initial revision and reapply patchset, commit etc.

I have a idea. I can use VMWare snapshot function. Windows XP +Source Code -> Take snapshot. I unpack ntvdmx64-master.zip ONLY.

SVN revert would be faster than rolling back a whole VM,but of course, your idea would work too.
