==Log==

''' To roll out an updated version of backup.bat, copy it into the [[Regional Server]]/Program folder for all laptops; next news an backup will pull it. '''

===2021-06-09===

* removed lines that open log in firefox, since data collectors no longer get to have firefox installed; now only loading in Chrome.

* now launching browser with "start" so the batch window will close even if browser is still open

===2020-12-10===

increased number of versions kept to 40; initial roll our wasn't right, re-done 2020-12-30

===2019-09-18===

changed CCMDB.mdb to CCMDB.accdb

===2018-10-31===

Added loading in chrome to the list of firefox loading options; Windows 10 only uses chrome so the log had not been opening on W10 when a new file was available.

===2016-03-31===

Update to new path structure

===2016-01-04===

Update to eliminate the SD cards at STB due to ongoing problems.

rolled out via copy to all program locations Ttenbergen 10:33, 2015 June 24 (CDT)

* updated path for launching Firefox if CCMDB was updated. Ttenbergen 10:33, 2015 June 24 (CDT)

===2015-03-05===

not sure what changed then but that was the date before 2015-06-24

===2014-09-28===

* moved any variable generation that is now consistent across region into backup.bat.

* added check to confirm that ml is set ie that was called from [[batstart.bat]]

=== below here are legacy log entries before we had separate logs for the two batch files ===

==== v2013-06-24 ====

This won't be rolled out either since the change is only relevant during setup of a new file.

* changed the ml to a place-holder and added error checking to complain if place-holder has not been changed to something sensible. Ttenbergen 15:05, 2013 June 24 (EDT)

==== v2013-05-02 ====

These won't be rolled out so much as they will be manually installed at the next site visit. Ttenbergen 15:41, 2013 May 2 (EDT)

* changes to backup.bat

** adding running of [[compact_repair_data.vbs]] to the end of the sd card backup

** removed code to transition to "new" regional server summer 2012

* changes to batstart.bat

** removed reference to pre-encrypted SD cards

** removed all mention of the regional server since that has been set in backup.bat since summer 2012

==== v2012-09-04 ====

was the version being updated to the next; undocumented, likely the change was moving the regional server variable into the backup.bat file and updating it to the new location

==== v2011-07-07 ====

rolled out [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:57, 7 July 2011 (CDT)

==== v2011-04-14 ====

rolled out [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 10:22, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

* '''changes you may notice:'''

** what you need to do to back up does ''not'' change

** the text that pops up in the black box during backup will be different; you don't need to worry about this change, it is only relevant to troubleshooting

** a log of the backup is now copied to the regional server, which will help me if I need to troubleshoot

* changes in the background:

** added line to add the version of the backup.bat to the log file

** added reference to this log to the backup.bat and to the log file generated

** added line to copy log to data directory on the server [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:06, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

** added code to replace mounttruecrypt.bat if it exists [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:53, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

** made logging more detailed [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:59, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
