Aiko,
I'm dealing with a very similar situation.
So, I created a second tier backup using simple batch file.
First, you have to create backup folder with subfolders for the each day
of week:
sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat
Then, create a batch file, for example, RBaseBackup.bat with the
following script:
:: RBase Backup Batch File
:: copies database files into the weekday folder
:: sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat
::
echo OFF
echo Archiving R:Base files...
for /f %%a in ('date /t') do set XDate=%%a
Set Day=%XDate:~0,3%
echo %DAY%
copy /Y "C:\YourRbaseFolder\*.RB?"
"\\YourFileServer\USERS\YourUser\RBasebackup\%DAY%"
Finally, schedule script execution at night time using standard
"Scheduled tasks" tool.
Script will copy database files into the folder that corresponds the
current day of week, so you will always have backup files for at least
seven consecutive days.
I'm working with a very old version of the Rbase, so just replace .RB
with the appropriate extension.
Hopefully it will help.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - back-up
Dear all,
My clients discovered recently that their Rbase Files are corrupted and
need
to go back to a few days back.
But unfortunately the network administrator did not back up the data
everyday as they were supposed.
I thought that to save their predicaments, I should recommend to a
backup
system for their own(my clients) in their office.
Have you had any similar experience? Do you do your own back-up beside
the
network back-up?
I am thinking to let them back up the data every day onto a CD. they
would
have 5 CDs and they can keep writing over for Monday through Friday
respectively.
Can you think better way to go about this ?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Shivering in DC,
Thank you.
