[Atif Munir]

Hello,

I want to take such a backup of my sprk box...that if the os crash
down.....I may be able to restore the whole os along with all software
installed on my box with one command.

Is there any good idea.

When logged on as an administrator, when I try to backup
my hard drive [c:] using my cd writer [d:]I get the
following message.

The backup file name could not be used
D:\backup.bkf
Please ensure it is a valid path and that you have
sufficient access.

any help would be welcome

If you are referring to ntbackup, that program cannot backup directly to CD.
You must backup to your hard drive and then use your CD burning software of
choice to transfer the backup to CD.

Maz,

depends on the Access version. AFAIK A2000 (and probably higher
versions too) won't let you to copy an open DB. You would need a
separate app.

As for how to get a file programmatically on the memory stick or
CD-RW, depends on the CDR software. I have Nero which has a command
line module, and if you're using some UDF packet writing software for
CDRWs like InCD then you can simply use a batch file with xcopy.

But I'd like to ask you: don't you make regular backups including
_all_ your documents, DBs, etc.?

Best regards

Hi all

I am looking to automatically back up a Access 2002 database, hosted on a

Here's some code I posted in response to another post that is similar to
what you want.

However, a more practical approach would be to convert it to ASP, remove
"WScript.Sleep", and have the Windows Task Scheduler call it every day. If
a timestamp is not needed the delete all lines with "NOW" in them.

'*
'* Downloads file "cFIL" from "cURL" into "cOUT" every "cSEC" seconds.
'* (To abort: press Ctrl+Alt+Del, select "WScript", then "End Task".)
'* (If Timestamp isn't needed then delete all lines containing "NOW".)
'*
Option Explicit
'*
'* Declare Constants
'*
Const cVBS = "download.vbs"
Const cFIL = "logo.gif"
Const cOUT = "C:\temp\"
Const cURL = "http://www.google.com/images/"
Const cSEC = 86400 '= seconds between downloads
'*
'* Declare Variables
'*
Dim strMSG
Dim arrNOW(6)
Dim intNOW
Dim strNOW
' strNOW = "ccyymmhhnnss_"
Dim intOUT
intOUT = 0
Dim strOUT
Dim strURL
'*
'* Fetch File
'*
MsgBox "Download started!",vbInformation,cVBS
Do
'*
'* Timestamp
'*
arrNOW(0) = Now()
arrNOW(1) = DatePart("yyyy",arrNOW(0))
arrNOW(2) = DatePart("m",arrNOW(0))
arrNOW(3) = DatePart("d",arrNOW(0))
arrNOW(4) = DatePart("h",arrNOW(0))
arrNOW(5) = DatePart("n",arrNOW(0))
arrNOW(6) = DatePart("s",arrNOW(0))
strNOW = ""
For intNOW = 1 To UBound(arrNOW)
If (arrNOW(intNOW) < 10) Then
arrNOW(intNOW) = "0" & arrNOW(intNOW)
End If
strNOW = strNOW & arrNOW(intNOW)
Next
strNOW = strNOW & "_"
'*
'* Download
'*
strURL = cURL & cFIL
intOUT = intOUT + 1
'strOUT = cOUT & cFIL ' uncomment if Timestamp not needed
strOUT = cOUT & strNOW & cFIL
strMSG = "#" & intOUT & vbCrLf & strURL & vbCrLf & strOUT
MsgBox strMSG,vbInformation,cVBS
Call fetch(strURL,strOUT)
'*
'* Sleep
'*
WScript.Sleep(1000*cSEC)
Loop

Function fetch(url,out)
'On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
Dim b
With CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
.Open "GET",url,False
.Send
b = .ResponseBody
If Err.Number <> 0 Or .Status <> 200 Then
fetch = False
Exit Function
End If
End With
With CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
.Type = 1
.Open
.Write b
.SaveToFile out,2
End With
fetch = Err.Number = 0
End Function

You can try and start it by going to Start -> Run -> here type in
ntbackup.exe and click OK.

I hope this helps,
