Whats the preferred way to backup a host
Spam&Beans replied to Spam&Beans's topic in FileMaker Pro v7 – v9
I ended up creating a script that saves a copy of the database at a mapped drive. I read it somewhere that this can be done as a backup. Now if I can only make my script work properly. -

Creating the batch file is not the problem. How do you shutdown FM automatically before running the batch file and then start it up before the users get in ? I have FM pro 7 (not the server edition). -
I had just migrated to Filemaker Pro 7 and is using network share off a dedicated client. What do you guys & gals do to backup the local database ? I had just used up my complimentary support with FM and they say they dont support command lines or batch files. I basically want to use the scheduler to shutdown FM, run a scheduled backup from my backup exec server and start it first thing in the morning. Im a newbie with FM by the way, so any help would be much appreciated.
