backonline -run backup.set john letmein pony 64.67.14.186 55555
The BackOnline client program can be scheduled to automatically backup or restore files at pre-set scheduled times in the following ways:
In either case, a "File Set" will need to be created prior to running the scheduled tasks (see Client "File Set" Format below).
To use the built-in schedule feature, the BackOnline client application or applet is required to be running (see Part II for more details on the BackOnline Client's Schedule screen).
To use an external scheduler, you need to run the BackOnline Client in its command line mode using the "-run" parameter (see Appendices for details on the command line option). For example, the following command can be scheduled through Microsoft Windows' Scheduled Tasks feature (or via CRON on Unix/Linux):
backonline -run backup.set john letmein pony 64.67.14.186 55555
A client "file set" is used on the BackOnline's Schedule screen or when BackOnline is run as a command line utility. The File Set can either be created using the "Save Set" feature in the client's GUI or by manually creating it through a text editor.
The format of this file is fairly straight forward, in that, it contains a header followed by a blank line followed by a list of directories or files to backup or restore. The header must contain the following parameters in the exact case shown here:
The following is a sample "file set" file:
Operation: Backup Destination-Path: \ Replace-Duplicates: yes Append-Source-Path-Name: yes Compress: yes Encrypt: yes LogFile: /backonline.log C:\MTM C:\My Documents C:\images D:\CITIBANK
