Thanks John. For those that are interested, I've combined my MD / PS and Genie scripts into something that will work for the majority of sites out of the box: http://www.ozdocit.org/tiki-index.php?page=backup+scripts Snapshots the database/s, copies any number of shares, keeps a rolling backup on hard disk (each day of the month), burns to DVD-+R or DVD-+RW with the date as the title and verifies. Can be used for CDR or CDRW with a small adjustment. This is pretty primitive stuff, dictated by the comparatively useless shell supplied by Windows. There are a number of decent shells like bash that can run on Windows. The next step in this is to roll it into an easy GUI and probably include bash to allow real flexibility. In the meantime we customise it for each site, eg. deleting prior backups from disk if required, adding other data like MYOB etc. regards, Peter. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Peter Machell > Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2006 1:50 PM > To: General Practice Computing Group Talk > Subject: Re: [GPCG_TALK] dvd burning sbs 2003 > > Dr John Van Dyck wrote: > >>What a good idea (the website bit) Might publicise your service (as if > > you > >>needed to ) etc > > > Actually another fairly slow day today (for me not the others).
