It sounds like it would be better to keep this out of OFBiz if you
don't want the data running through the Entity Engine and the
applications.
Yes, the service engine supports scheduled services and you can use
"hack-ish" things to call command-line programs, but cron is way more
direct and because it can more easily run on the same machine and is
much smaller and has less "moving parts" than OFBiz, it would be more
reliable.

Hi BJ,
sometime I read in the list that the OFBiz export fuctionality was not
intended to be used to perform a system administration database
backup.
I was thinking to run through an OFBiz re-occurring service an
external
mysql dump command or similar.
Are somewhere examples of running similar external applications from
OFBiz?
Many thanks,

if you talking about the actual database no.
this would require a class that is specific to each database that
would
be specified in the entityengine.xml
however if you look at webtools, you can export the data as entities.
using that as a model you can export and add date-time to the files.
this then can be run as a re-occurring service.

Hi list,
I would like to have OFBiz automatically backup its own database at
regular
time intervals.
Has someone already done something similar or could offer me some
idea on
the best way to implement it?
Many thanks,
