Aloha Backup - A script for automating AlohaQS backups.
|
|
|
|
There are five types of backups that this script can perform:
|
|
Full:
|
|
Contents: The whole AlohaQS folder.
|
|
Name: YYYY_MM_DD.7z
|
|
Monthly:
|
|
Contents: All "YYYYMMDD" folders from the previous month.
|
|
Name: YYYY_MM.7z
|
|
Nightly:
|
|
Contents: The "YYYYMMDD" folder for yesterday.
|
|
Name: YYYY_MM_DD.7z
|
|
Program:
|
|
Contents: Everything but the "YYYYMMDD" folders.
|
|
Name: YYYY_MM_DD.7z
|
|
Yearly:
|
|
Contents: All "YYYYMMDD" folders from the previous year.
|
|
Name: YYYY.7z
|
|
* All backups are compressed with 7-Zip to save space. Backups are less than 20% original size!
|
|
** All filenames refer to the dates contained in the backup except the Full and Program backups; those refer to when the backup was done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
Make a folder named "Aloha Backups" at the root of a drive.
|
|
e.g. "D:\Aloha Backups" or "F:\Aloha Backups"
|
|
The drive can be a local HD, USB Stick, or Network Share.
|
|
(Optional) Copy the "Copy Backups to Desktop.cmd" file to the root of the same drive.
|
|
This file is useful if your backups are on a USB stick and you want to keep an additional backup on another PC.
|
|
Then copy the files to any folder and run Aloha_Backup.cmd
|
|
* If you don't copy the 7za folder, you will need to install 7-Zip.
|
|
