Does anyone have an example of the .cmd files they use to pause and backup Optigold when using Filemaker Server 5? Below is what my CMD file looks like but am not sure if it is pausing the databse correctly. How can I assure that the database is being paused correctly? if not exist c:\FMBackup goto create rmdir /s /q c:\FMBackup :create mkdir c:\FMBackup "C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server 5\Fmserver.exe" pause xcopy "C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server 5\Optigold\*" /s c:\FMBackup "C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server 5\Fmserver.exe" resume if not exist c:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600 goto create2 rmdir /s /q c:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600 :create2 mkdir c:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600\ xcopy c:\FMBackup\*.* /s c:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600\ if not exist d:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600 goto create3 rmdir /s /q d:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600 :create3 mkdir d:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600\ xcopy c:\FMBackup\*.* /s d:\Backup\Optigold\Backup0600\
What if I am not using Filemaker Server for an install? How do i do a backup if the files are opened in Filemaker Pro?
it would be really very hard to do it manually, you should use backup scheduler for CMD backup files...
