looking for backup tool

[Jc61990]

is there a tool that will backup usernames? or maybe just do regular backups of the dbs?

[Claw]

Just copy the server.dbs to your backup drive.

You can handle this at linux via cronjobs and on windows via "Windows Tasks" ..

P.S.: Gratz to the 1337'th thread in this board ;)

Does the above script restart the TS server?

[Katana*GFR*]

Is a english translation available for this script? :D looks nice!

[maxi1990]

Does the above script restart the TS server?

No. Is there any need to restart the server?

Is a english translation available for this script? :D looks nice!

If I find some time I'll translate it into adequate englisch :p

[Katana*GFR*]

cheers, i know a bit of german, but translating it isn't my thing... Im bound to make errors then.

[crazyandy]

No there is no need to restart the server, just wondering what the startscript is called for.

And thanks about the translation, I can have a good guess what each part does, but no idea on german.

Cheers, Andy

Just tell me if you want the main-code comments also to be translated ;)

[crazyandy]

Thanks very much maxi for translating this, makes things alot clearer now.

I dont think the main code needs translating as most of it makes sense to me now anyway.
Maybe Katana would like it translated, and maybe for others.

One last wee thing. If I was to put the path to a folder in were the files to be backed up are, would this work. Basicly just to backup the whole TS folder.

Thanks

Andy

[Katana*GFR*]

I got it maxi, cheers.

Saves me alot of error work :D Like i said, i know German pretty well, but it's just a safety to have it translated.
Cheers for the work, im gonna put it up on my server.
