Windows batch exit code / errorlevel

Getting Help
1

hi… i just made a simpel batch script for our client-systems.

i wanted to give an error-output to the user, but it never changes errorlevel despite of real error.
for example if the REST server is not reachable, the backup prozess should exit with errorcode not 0.

but it seems i always get a 0
any idea on that?

seems so… thx a lot… the set -o pipefail seems to do the trick
hahaha… lol… nope… this was for linux bash scripts… it “worked” here, because itself generated errorcode 1.

my fault =)

Any windows-foo-expert in here?
