This probably good enough for a WPS backup. Here's the guts of what
Unimaint does for backup:

"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"
IF EXIST "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01.ZIP" ERASE
"D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01.ZIP" IF EXIST "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBDR01.ZIP"
ERASE "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBDR01.ZIP" IF EXIST
"D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01.ZIP" ERASE "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01.ZIP"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01" "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01" "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" -r -S "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBDR01" "F:\Desktop"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" -j "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01" "F:\OS2\DLL\DOCK*.CFG"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" -j "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01"
"F:\OS2\DLL\SCENTER.CFG" "D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBCK01"
"D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01.ZIP" "D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE"
"D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBCK01" "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBDR01.ZIP"
"D:\UNIMAINT\ZIP.EXE" "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBCK01"
"D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01.ZIP" ERASE "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSWC01.ZIP"
ERASE "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBIN01.ZIP"
ERASE "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBDR01.ZIP"
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" +S "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" +S "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"

and here's what it does for restore:

"D:\UNIMAINT\INICLEAN.EXE" -i"F:\Desktop"
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO CLNGOOD
ECHO The IniClean run was not successful, therefore the restore ECHO
cannot continue.
ECHO Check the error message, fix the problem and retry the ECHO
Restore unless you are sure everything is okay.
ECHO If you want to continue, hit Enter, if you want to terminate ECHO
Hit Ctrl-Break
PAUSE
:CLNGOOD
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -R -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -R -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"
ERASE "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
ERASE "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"
IF .%1 == . GOTO NOPARM
"D:\UNIMAINT\UNZIP.EXE" -j "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBCK%1"
GOTO AFTER
:NOPARM
"D:\UNIMAINT\UNZIP.EXE" -j "D:\UNIMAINT\BKUP\SYSBCK01"
:AFTER
"D:\UNIMAINT\UNZIP.EXE" -o SYSBIN01 -d F:\
"D:\UNIMAINT\UNZIP.EXE" -o SYSBDR01 -d F:\
"D:\UNIMAINT\UNZIP.EXE" -o SYSWC01 -d F:\OS2\DLL\
IF EXIST SYSWC01.ZIP ERASE SYSWC01.ZIP
ERASE SYSBIN01.ZIP
ERASE SYSBDR01.ZIP
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -R -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2.INI"
"F:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE" -R -S -H "F:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI"
:ENDIT

For me, Unimaint has only one claim to fame in the area of Desktop
backups. I've never had a restore fail. YMMV.

I also use the Supplemental Backup to save a variety of other
configuration files. Most of these don't change all that often, but I
find it convenient to have them local rather than on tape if I happen to
need on. This backup handles config.sys, startup.cmd, setup.cmd and so
on.

There's no way to get zip to store an absolute path. That's why restore
scripts use the -d option.
