Let me give a bit more detail: I am working on a utility function in my
webapp that will periodically copy the database file from the db server
to a backup server on the LAN.
Uh.... cron and cp, anyone? You can even use cron to initiate the
backup, too, instead of scripting it from your webapp.
Why doesn't anyone use cron anymore? Sheesh...
Does Windows 2003 server have a version of cron? I've never used it. And
building it into my webapp lets all the configuration be done from the
same interface..
No.... not that I know of... but there are freeware ports to windows.
If its windows based, or perhaps windows to Samba.... and its just an admin
function, like a scheduled copy... then have a look at Microsofts attempt at
linux type scripting... its called
WSH... its a vb or Javascript type language that lets you do things like
copy files, and I imagine it will interface with scheduled tasks, services
and all the rest of it.
Looks like this
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not FSO.FolderExists(FolderName) Then
FSO.CreateFolder(FolderName)
End If
Have Fun...
