Data back-up is a very essential procedure in System Five or any system at all. This is not a permanent Backup Solution but it will work in the sort term. It is best to have proper backup software, actually backup System Five as well as other programs the customer may use.
This backup script will ONLY WORK WITH VERSION 6+ of System Five and must be placed and only used on the SERVER and run as Administrator
This Script will only backup the Database files needed by System Five. All
Below is the list of key steps on how to create a batch file for data back-up in System Five version 6.0.0.X
