How Can I Automate the Backup of a Quickbooks Server?
- by Nick
I have three computers: The first is the company file server which has the Quick Books company file, is always on, and lives in the closet. The other two are Quick Books Clients. All are XP Pro.
I need a way to automatically backup the QB data file, without any user intervention.
Quick Books has a built in scheduled backup utility, but from what I've read, it only works when the software is running in single user mode. (and obviously putting the server into single user mode defeats the concept of having a server). Also, I'm not actually running QB itself on the server, just the "QB Database Server" process that sits in the system tray.
Surely there must be a way to automate this? I'm open to any ideas/suggestions.
Thanks!
