/cmd\ =========================================================================
Create a snapshot backup when a file changes.
_______________________________________________________________________________
TSG_Snapshot [/?] [drive:][path]FileToProtect [SafeLocation] [Interval]
SWITCHES:
/? Display this help.
PARAMETERS: Default values are shown in {}'s
FileToProtect A SINGLE file to protect (no wildcards!)
[SafeLocation] Folder to hold snapshots {C:\!Snapshot}
[Interval] Minutes between file checks {5}
ERRORLEVELS:
0 = Normal or expected finish.
1 = Help screen was displayed.
2 = Script exited with a known error. See %ErrorMsg% for details.
3 = Script exited with an unspecified error.
NOTES:
The SafeLocation folder will be created if necessary.
TSG_Snapshot will stop monitoring after 10 successful snapshots have
been taken, or after 4 hours of waiting time, whichever comes first.
Interval time DOES NOT include time spent comparing and copying files.
The Interval counter is reset at the beginning of each waiting period.
Actual wait time is NOT PRECISE, and can overshoot by several seconds,
depending upon system load (see the .Wait command).
If any optional parameter is used, all optional parameters to it's left MUST
be specified. For example, to use Interval, also specify SafeLocation.
All Advanced Scripts (those prefixed with "TSG_") from TheSystemGuard.com
REQUIRE the Advanced NT/2K/XP/K3 Command Library (ntlib.cmd). This library
provides over 200 resources for writing, testing and maintaining RELIABLE
shell scripts using only the native commands and utilities that are present in
ALL NT-based operating systems. Write a script ONCE using ntlib.cmd and your
script will perform CONSISTENTLY under Windows NT4, 2000, XP and Server 2003!
Request your FREE copy of the Advanced Library today at (http://ntlib.com).
*******************************************************************************
Snapshot Expert uses the enlarged "Expert Command Library" (NTCmdLib.cmd),
enabling many additional command line switches and parameters. All Expert
Scripts (those prefixed with "!") are complete, ready-to-run applications
that do not require any commands or utilities not already present in every
NT/2K/XP/K3 install. !Scripts are distributed uncompressed and are fully
commented so you can quickly fashion them to your specific requirements.
An example of what you're missing (from the help screen of !Snapshot.cmd):
SWITCHES: Default values are shown in {}'s
/C Compact window during run (size restored at Final Report). {off}
/FP FullPath (use the full path of FileToProtect in window title) {name.ext}
/NV NoVisual (don't change console colors to reflect operating status) {on}
/P Pause (pause console after Final Report) {off}
/WF WaitforFile (bypass error if FileToProtect does not exist) {off}
PARAMETERS: Default values are shown in {}'s
[Warning_Trigger] Consecutive missed snapshots before warning. {1}
[Error_Trigger] Consecutive missed snapshots before error. {2}
[MaxSnaps] Maximum snapshots to take before stopping. {25}
[MaxTime] Maximum time (in minutes) to wait. {480} (8 hours)
!Snapshot.cmd provides a color-coded, self-adjusting console window to enable
at-a-glance monitoring of all running snapshots while using minimum desktop
real estate. We also include a ".reg" file to allow right-click access to the
!Snapshot script from inside Windows Explorer. Just highlight any file, then
right-click, and select "Protect with !Snapshot".
Both the Expert Command Library and !Snapshot are "Almost Free" at $9 or less!
See (http://TheSystemGuard.com/AlmostFree.asp) for The Almost Free Price List.
The VERY LATEST KNOWLEDGE pertaining to the Windows NT/2K/XP/K3 command line
can be found at TheSystemGuard.com. Check the MasterCatalog often for a
continually growing collection (http://TheSystemGuard.com/MasterCatalog.asp).
You'll learn to build RELIABLE and MAINTAINABLE shell scripts that will always
perform CONSISTENTLY on every Windows NT-based system right out of the box!
