Details

This Perl script creates backup copy of file every N minutes.

The Perl script works on the Server console.

Files:
bcpspc.pl
bcpspc.cfg

Example:
\\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\file.sxc
will be created every 15 min from 8:00 to the 21:00 files here:
\\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\bcp\yyyymmddhhmm.sxc if file.sxc is opened by user.

How to configure:

1. create folder:
   sys:\etc\1bcpspc
2. create file
   sys:\etc\1bcpspc\bcpspc.cfg
   with info as in the attachment: bcpspc.cfg
3. put file bcpspc.pl to the folder: sys:\perl\scripts
4. create file: sys:\system\1bcpspc.ncf with this text:
   perl sys:\perl\scripts\bcpspc.pl
5. Create folders for BACKUP and LOG files (as in the example this will be:)
   \\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\bcp
   \\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\bcp\log
6. Create empt files:
   \\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\bcp\log\tfile.tsk
   \\server\docum\wrk\home\user1\bcp\log\lfile.tsk
7. Load from the server console: TBX.NLM
8. Run from the server console script:
   1bcpspc.ncf

This script, from the example, will create a Backup copy of file.sxc every 15 min.

This will be if file LOCK by user application.

How to stop the script:

Create the file: SYS:\bcpspc.txt

Before Run the script again, need RENAME SYS:\bcpspc.txt to the SYS:\bcpspc.tx
