Hi Guys
Has anyone got any experience with setting up an automated, nightly
incremental backup using winzip?
I want to e-mail myself a zip every night to a BT e-mail address but If
I send the whole zip every night it would be almost 200 MB so I just
want to do a full zip say every Sunday then incrementally send zips on
all of the other nights. Thing is I think that when you do an
incremental zip with winzip it replaces the original zip with the
incremental zip. Can I then base another incremental fine on an
incremental file?
Of course this 200MB includes the actual wwwroot files which shouldn't
actually change and I have a copy of them locally anyway. Perhaps I
should just e-mail a zip of the databases and the e-mail every night as
the databases are likely to change every day.
I have also heard that winzip can create corrupted files if the file it
is trying to zip is in use. I though of stopping the CF and e-mail
services before I do the zip but I will probably be doing this with CF
so stopping the CF services may not be the best paln - suppose I could
just stop the ODBC service so the databases will not be locked.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks
