Mike, I used Duplicati some years ago to automatically sync some folder via ftp to a remote box. Other than that I always was happy with RoboCopy (builtin Windows command).
Copying open files like dbf / cdx etc is nice but renders them unusable at the target, thus it doesn't make too much sense. If he wants to have a working data copy from an in-use application, then you need to build a little helper program, which just loops through all dbfs with a simple ADIR(aFiles, "*.DBF") and USE it, then COPY ALL WITH CDX to a different folder. That folder is then transferred by Duplicati (or whatever tool you prefer). If you have DBC bound data, then first copy that DBC to the target (also with USE/COPY TO), then loop through the DBC based on ADBObj(aFiles, "TABLE") and then COPY WITH CDX DATABASE <dbName>. That way the long fieldnames etc survive. wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von [email protected] Gesendet: Samstag, 9.

I see one of my competitors is using this software to backup and send things offsite, including a VFP app's foxpro table/index/memo files (even while a user has tables open).
