go to post Erik Wickop · Aug 19 Hey, thanks for the commet Erik (btw. great name ;) ) ! I think in general I have to admit that we are talking about a relative small office using a software which is using IRIS. Obviously having a perfekt "backup and restore strategy" would be wonderfull but we also have to leverage a bit the effort to create the perfekt strategy and to restore from a not so perfekt strategy. So my personal answer to my own question is to copy the two directorys I got told to backup to be able to get the software running again ;) Not sure wheather there is someone in this forum who is interested in this but find below my batchfile: :: ------------- Set Path :: - example path!!! set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\ set PATH=%PATH%;c:\CacheSys\bin\ :: ------------ Generate Timestamp for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS get localdatetime ^| find "."') do set datetime=%%a set "YYYY=%datetime:~0,4%" set "MM=%datetime:~4,2%" set "DD=%datetime:~6,2%" set "HH=%datetime:~8,2%" set "MI=%datetime:~10,2%" set "SS=%datetime:~12,2%" set fullstamp=%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-%HH%-%MI%-%SS% :: ------------ Stop IRIS iris stop IRISHEALTH :: ------------ Start FTP Upload ::Create directory for ftp upload mkdir C:\WinSCP_Logs\%fullstamp%\ :: Exec FTP client and ipload file winscp.com /log="C:\WinSCP_Logs\%fullstamp%\logfile.log"^ /command ^ "open ftp://User:Password@serveraddress" ^ "put [src] [dest]%fullstamp%"^ "exit" :: ------------ start Iris iris start IRISHEALTH
