I like that script--I haven't seen the tokenizing in NT scripts like that
before. Here's my script for doing backups. Our machine gets the entire
machine backed up regularly, so I just make sure there is a clean copy
available for the backup to pick up. Some people add a "KILL cvs.exe" to
theirs for good measure in case there is a hung process, I haven't yet but
haven't had a problem that I'm aware of. However, mine does prune and
recreate the CVS TEMP directory.
I suppose the next step for this script would be to redirect the output to a
file and email to an admin if there was a problem.

Subject: Re: [cvsnt] repos back up
I don't know admin from Adam, but I've taken it upon myself to backup our
repository here. Here is what I do/I've done:
1) wrote a batch file that stops the cvsnt service, copies the repository,
restarts the service, then renames the backup. It could also copy it to
networked storage, but it currently doesn't.
2) set a scheduled task that runs the batch file every weeknight at 10pm.
See Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks.
3) every week, I zip the backups and burn to CD-R.
4) that's it.
Here is the batch file (cvsbackup.bat):
FOR /F "TOKENS=2-4 DELIMS=/ " %%F IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET
MYDATE=%%F-%%G-%%H)
net stop cvs
xcopy "D:\Data Files\CVS\cvsrepo" "D:\Data Files\CVS\cvsbackup" /Q /S /C
/H /R /O /Y /I
net start cvs
ren "cvsbackup" "cvsbackup %MYDATE%"
Line 1 creates an environment variable that is the current date punctuated
with hyphens.
Line 2 stops the service so no one commits while it's backing up.
Line 3 copies the repository to a backup directory with all the correct
ownerships, protections, etc.
Line 4 restarts the service.
Line 5 renames the backup repository to include the date in its name.
That's it. Good luck.
