- Thread-topic: Back Up FileMaker Pro Database with a Script
Hi, I had an
instance where several records in a FileMaker Pro database were deleted,
and since FMP databases save without user interaction, the records were not
recoverable. Is it possible to write a script that would automatically back up
a FMP database, say once a day, perhaps by copying it to a particular
folder? The backed up files would require different names so that they
wouldn't overwrite each other; I could add a date stamp or sequential number to
each file name. The real issue is making the backup file, since there is no
"save as" command in FMP's scripting dictionary. A Finder script would work as
well, the only thing I want to avoid is using FMP's internal scripting
capabilities.
Thanks,
Garry
Simon
