VSys can be told to run its backups directly from the command line, rather than using the visual user interface. These are handy for scheduled backups that you can have automatically run by Windows as a scheduled task, or by any enterprise management tool which permits scheduled jobs.
Run a command-line backup by launching VSys with the backup: parameter, followed by any options. For example,
VSys.exe backup:{yyyy-mm-dd.hh.nn.ss.zip},password:beef,omitimages
or,
VSys.exe backup:{mm-dd-yyyy.zip},maxsize:10
When run on February 12, 2010 at 5:56:00pm, the first would result in a file named 2010-02-12.17.56.00.zip, the second example would produce 02-12-2010.zip.
Parameter |
Meaning |
password |
Text used to encrypt the backup, in this example, "beef". |
omitimages |
Excludes from the backup any scanned forms or images associated with comments. |
maxsize |
If the backup file would exceed this size, breaks the backup into multiple files all no larger than this value (in megabytes). |
VSys must be configured to automatically start with a database for these backups to work. If VSys prompts you for a database to use when it's run, the backup process cannot work.
