Hi All, I've been using a batch file to back up DXBase. This file allow me to save several itenerations of my backup without corrupting previous backups. If I were to back up weekly I would have backups going back over a month. If you wanted to expand this file to have more itenerations just ad more commands to the front of this file. Obviously the only drawback would be to back up too often. The first 5 lines of the file only moves older versions of your backups to older folders. With each backup your oldest one is overwritten. The folders [F:\Backup] & [C:\DXbase] are for reference. You should change the names [F:\Backup] to where you want your backup and [C:\DXbase] to where you have installed DXbase. You will also have to create the subdirectories 1st thru 6th or more if you added any to where you created your backup folder.
xcopy F:\Backup\5th\*.* F:\Backup\6th\ /E /R /Y xcopy F:\Backup\4th\*.* F:\Backup\5th\ /E /R /Y xcopy F:\Backup\3rd\*.* F:\Backup\4th\ /E /R /Y xcopy F:\Backup\2nd\*.* F:\Backup\3rd\ /E /R /Y xcopy F:\Backup\1st\*.* F:\Backup\2nd\ /E /R /Y xcopy C:\DXbase\*.mdb F:\Backup\1st\ /E /R /Y xcopy C:\DXbase\*.wcf F:\Backup\1st\ /E /R /Y xcopy C:\DXbase\*.co F:\Backup\1st\ /E /R /Y xcopy C:\DXbase\*.ini F:\Backup\1st\ /E /R /Y copy C:\Windows\Dxb2005.ini F:\Backup\1st\ 73, Art W2NRA
