1Backup.bat

1Backup.bat is a batch file created by Tina Tenbergen that calls several other batch files that should be run together: (as part of what process? Template:Discussion

• Centralized backup.bat
• CC backup.bat
• MD backup.bat

Use updated compression utility to 7zip (from PKZIP) to support long file names

• I am almost sure that 1Backup doesn't use it but the called batches may. In any case, don't think there is value in listing it here, that a level of detail best left to the batch files themselves. propose deleting this. Ttenbergen 14:59, 2014 April 30 (CDT) Template:Discussion

Must push before backing up

If an error message shows; cannot find a file, must check if Pull down centralized data.vbs to local desktop. The backup must only be run AFTER Push up centralized data.vbs, otherwise Centralized data.mdb is not backed up.

• that needs to live in the process article for this, not the batch file article... Ttenbergen 14:59, 2014 April 30 (CDT)

check that backups work

Data Processor must regularly (at least once per week) check if backup went to location expected or not. In the past main office has experienced backup batch files that for some reason stopped working. Because no one did regular checks we had long period with with no backup!Trish Ostryzniuk 18:54, 2014 April 29 (CDT)

• again, that needs to be a process, not part of the batch file article Ttenbergen 14:59, 2014 April 30 (CDT)

Logs

• There is a push/pull LOG file somewhere that can be checked however, at the moment it is not clear where it actually lives or what it is called. --Trish Ostryzniuk 18:54, 2014 April 29 (CDT)
  • edit the file, if it generates a log then there will be a variable, something with the name log in it, that will tell where it logs to. Ttenbergen 13:31, 2014 April 30 (CDT)
    • Not sure where the log goes. centralizedbackup it says C, but in CC or MD backup its say the location for M.Trish Ostryzniuk 14:14, 2014 April 30 (CDT)
      • edit the script itself, it will tell you if there is a log and where it goes. Ttenbergen 14:18, 2014 April 30 (CDT)
        • opened the 1backup.bat in EDIT.........nothing there other than what you see above.Trish Ostryzniuk 14:25, 2014 April 30 (CDT)
          • Ah, sorry: the other batch files being called by 1Backup are what defines the logs. And that is likely already written in their articles, so probably best to remove from this article and just link to those.
