Salesman0Gil Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Solution / :/ Backup Batch File Description: Backup Routine Working Under: 7 Solution Status: Beta Pre-requisites: Win 2000/XP Server 7 Author(s): Salesman0Gil Date: 08/22/06 Credits: Instructions / Other Info: I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but I wanted to share this simple batch file to backup databases from server. If it does not belong here, let me know. I use the built in Daily Backup built in to Server. This batch file copies and zips all that data in to a zip file. The name of the zip file will be the current date (ddmmyy.zip), and is stored on an external drive. It also includes a .txt file that list all the file names. The zip utilty does not support long names. I found it very useful to protect against other users putting incorrect data in, and not catching it for a day or so. The Daily Backup in server overwrites on a daily bases. To make it work put the attached pkzip.exe in the path, and manipulate the d: in the batch file for the appriotate path. Then set up the scheduler to run the batch file after the daily backup runs. Disclaimer: FM Forums does not endorse or warrantee these files are fit for any particular purpose.
