Scheduled Cloning

itlocal

I am running Backupper Server 3.1 on SBS2011. I have backups scheduled and running properly, but i also like to make a full disk clone once a week to go in conjunction with my RAID setup. is there a script to set this up, or a way through the gui? i am trying to avoid creating my own script as i do not have the time.. thanks

With the professional version you can clone from the command line.

I use a script that checks to make sure it's being run by an Administrator.

It looks for the destination drive by name to make sure it's plugged in  (because plugging in an external drive can get the drive letter changed).

It clones the source to the destination.

Finally, I have 'Hotswap' dismount the drive .

My clone destination drive is labelled 'nonsuch' if  browse through the listing:

REM  begin++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

@echo off

:start
set randname=%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%
md c:\windows\%randname% 2>nul

if %errorlevel%==0 (echo Administrator detected!!!
goto end2)

echo Must be run as Administrator: try again

pause >nul
exit

:end2
@echo off
rd c:\windows\%randname% 2>nul

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('WMIC Path Win32_volume where "Label='nonsuch'" Get DriveLetter /format:list') do >nul 2>&1 set "SystemVolume_%%a"
   SET _test=%SystemVolume_DriveLetter%
   SET _result=%_test::=%
   ECHO %_result%
if "%_result%" == ":=" goto testit

AMBackup /c /t system /d %_result%  /a /o yes

label %_result%: Nonsuch

HotSwap! %_result%:

exit

:testit

cls

Echo destination drive not detected: check connections and try again
pause
exit

REM end+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sorry for that our software cannot support to do the scheduled clone. But you can do the scheduled backup.
