Is there a windows equivalent to these two scripts? (.bat / .pl scripts?)

I have currently one OTRS instance running on one machine, but I am planning on installing a new (fresh) OTRS instance on a larger server. Therefore I am interested in hearing about best practices and experiences on how to export data from one OTRS instance to another.
Have a look inside scripts/, there you find backup.sh and -who'd have thought that?- restore.sh. Dive into them to get to know what they're doing, it's quite comprehensive. After diving, come out of the water, dry yourself and use'em. ;) hth, Robert Kehl -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Tel. +49 (0)6172 4832388 _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support oder Consulting für Ihr OTRS System? => http://www.otrs.de/

Not at current, sorry. If you yourself want to try, this is what backup.sh does in general: - remove old backups if wanted - dump the database via the 'mysqldump' command. - eventually compress the sql file using bzip2 - save everything in Kernel/Config/ and Kernel/Config.pm - save the article's directory (even if empty) - create a compressed tarball out of the above I'll try to put together the corresponding .bat-scripts for Win32 soon, or we might issue the scripts as Perl scripts. We haven't decided this so far. hth, Robert Kehl -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Tel. +49 (0)6172 4832388
