I am looking for a way to backup the bwc files on the PCs to keep their configuration. Is there a way to move the .bwc file to say "My Documents" so that they get backed up with the PC docs? I have tried this and the Baan Client B40c.77 keeps looking for them in C:\Program Files\Baan\lib\user.


Thanks for any help in this matter.

If your "My Documents" folder is on the same computer as the Baan folder, then try this.

Download a copy of Junction.exe from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx.

Create a folder called "user" under your "My Documents" folder.
Move the contents of "C:\Program Files\Baan\lib\user" to "My Documents\user".
Execute the command (Windows XP assumed - fill your profile):
junction.exe "c:\baan4\lib\user" "C:\Documents and Settings\<profilename>\My Documents\user"

Junction is Microsoft speak for symlinks on Unix. While this functionality has been in the OS for a while (>= Win2K), they do not have a way of making use of it natively. So you need to download the above utility.

Please test *thoroughly* and post your feedback.

That works great for local My Documents. My "My Docuemnts" are redirected on a server and junction.exe doesn't work on server shares. Any other ideas?

hi,

Try this,

if 10.0.0.3 is server and 10.0.0.10 is Client PC ,then write a WINAT(google it) to a batch file in server to run at regular intervals.

dlybkup.bat
______________________________________________________
#start
@echo off

xcopy \\10.0.0.10\c$\program files\baan\lib\*.* d:\client10\*.* /D /Y

#end
__________________________________________________________________

this needs to be run of Domain server with domain admin rights , where d: is the backup path in server.

xcopy with /D /Y copies only newly created / modified files

All the Best,
