Combining External Scripts in Retrospect

| | Comments (0) |

Retrospect (backup software) comes with a number of external scripts. One I use to e-mail reports on backup success and failures. I needed to add another that would shut down a Domino server and then restart it after successful backups. The help files say: "If you need to run multiple scripts you will have to combine them." So with that little clue, I spent time figuring out how to modify a DOS batch file. The secret ended up creating a series of "IF" statements up front that would identify the calling scripts (alternating weekly backup scripts) that needed to shut down the Domino server. My mods in bold....


@ECHO OFF
REM
REM Retrospect Email Notifier
REM
REM A Retrospect external script to email reports for script executions.
REM Recipients and other required information for using this script are set
REM below in the "Email Group Properties". If you are using Retrospect's Backup
REM Server you need to schedule your email reports as detailed in the external
REM scripts read me.
