Hi, Yes there is. Read up on the AT command. You can create a batch file that will run various scripts to back up of the actual entries. I think that is one of the best methods for saving the information The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command. AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]] AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE] [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command" \\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the local computer if this parameter is omitted. id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command. /delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled. /yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired. time Specifies the time when command is to run. /interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user who is logged on at the time the job runs. /every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed. /next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed. "command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run. The other backup of plain ISA could also be automated. However if your machine crashes you can't load the ISA backup and have all your settings in place Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Greg Mulholland [mailto:duke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 2:08 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Automatic Backup http://www.ISAserver.org Have been reading on backup and restore of isa configurations. My questions, surely there is an automated way of performing mainly the backup tasks. Please let me know.
