Batch command to run configuration backup

Help & Support
1

I have a number of key application folders and configuration files backed up each night, by running a batch file through Task Scheduler.

I would like to add a DOpusRT command to add to the batch file, which will run the BACKUPRESTORE function with preset values, so that I do not have to interact with the wizard. Ideally, the backup file will always have the same name, and be created in the same folder, automatically replacing the previous night's file.

Is this possible?

I don't think you can automate the backup/restore process but you don't really need to now that all the config files are on the disk.

Instead you can schedule a simple file copy of these two directories:

/dopusdata
/dopusglobaldata

There's also stuff in /dopuslocaldata but it's probably not worth backing up.

Of course, if you don't use Opus (via DOpusRT) to copy the files then those aliases won't work, but you can type them into a lister to find out what the full paths are on your system.

Thanks Leo...

Perhaps worth a request to GPSoft?

Meanwhile, if I do copy the contents of those folders, then restore should be a simple copy back again?

Yup.
