Develop a Backup Schedule.
The next step is to automate the process. Two common methods are:
■ Use the Windows Task Scheduler. This process uses the backup tools
included with the server console as part of a standard Windows batch file.
■ Include the backup as part of a tape backup set. This process uses a tape
back up system to back up the vault directly or to use a method like the
Windows Task Scheduler.
The preferred and most reliable method for backing up a vault is to integrate
the server console backup tools into your tape backup plan.
With the server console command line options, you can create a script to
automate the backup process. The following script is intended for a default
Autodesk Vault server installation. Edit the backup paths and installation
paths as needed.
NOTE The following script is for performing full back ups ONLY. For more
command line options or to create a script for performing incremental back ups,
see the data management server console Help.
