Backup from command line?

<< < (3/6) > >>

Matt:
I think /RestoreLibrary should already work.  There's also /RestoreLibraryAndSettings and /RestoreSettings.

MarkCoutinho:
Wow! That's more than I hoped for!
This is exactly why I'm a fan of MC since version 8 or something: the forum board with the builders in it - direct answers when needed and sometime action when wanted.

Thanks!

MarkCoutinho:
I'm sorry to bother you: I can't find the explanation of this command line tool in the Wiki.
If I want to backup the library to for instance c:\music\library mediacenter, what would the full command be that can be run from the command line in Windows (and thus in a batch file that I will schedule)

Matt:
Just pass the path to a zip file for backup.

MC33.exe /BackupLibrary "C:\Temporary\MC Lib.zip"

MarkCoutinho:
Works like a charm.
For those interested: I've made a batch file that first backs up the library to a file. After that it renames the file to the format MC always backs up itself (i.e. MC Library Backup (Main Library - 2024-09-28 09-12).
I use the current date/time to rename the file to.

And that batch file I run every day as a scheduled action as well as at home as at my work. (remind: my backup path at work differs from the path at home - hence this solution)
