Here's what you need to do in order to get backup.pl running on windows. First, install cygwin unix tools for windows.
Second, I created a batch file to run the backup.pl... Here's what the batchfile looks like -- set path=%path%;c:\otrs\mysql\bin; cd otrs perl scripts\mybackup.pl -d \\backupserver\backupdata\otrs cd .. I named mine OTRS_Backup.bat and put it in the otrs directory with the other start/stop batch files. I run it with c:\otrs as my current directory. Note that it changes to the c:\otrs\otrs directory in order for the tar commands in the backup.pl to work right. This backs up the mysql data to another machine along with the config data. I only get one error that I haven't been able to resolve yet.. "tar: Kernel/Config/GenericAgen*.pm: Cannot stat: No such file or directory" Not sure why that's failing, but I'm getting the Application data and the mysql data backed up regularly.
