Support > Knowledge Base > Eclipse > Performing Backups
Eclipse does not have a built-in "back up" utility for creating copies of databases, but a batch file (*.bat) can be created to do the job. The batch file should be run during periods of low user activity to minimize interruptions to production.
The information in the batch file is as follows, or download a copy in text format:
REM Install and run this file as a BAT file
REM Use following line only if operating system is WIN98
REM @echo off
REM Set default drive and directory to where Eclipse is installed
c:
cd\eclipse
REM The next line will shutdown Eclipse and put Eclipse-COMM to sleep
start /w xlsleep.exe
REM The next line will copy the contents of the Eclipse folder to a network folder; modify the path spec as needed
xcopy *.* e:\eclipse /s/e/y
REM The next line deletes a file which permits Eclipse-COMM to wake up
del comsleep.run
REM The next line will re-start Eclipse; remove REM if you want Eclipse restarted
REM start /w xlstartup.exe ".t."
exit
