  • 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
