Title: Entourage Backup scripting
I am working on something to automate the backup of a group of Mac users’ Entourage data. All are using Office 2004 in 10.4.11. Home folders are based on Active Directory domain user names, so I made private folders on an Xserve for each user based on the domain user name. Entourage is not really scriptable, Export and Archive are not even the library. I have been working with UI scripting trying to get this sorted, here is what I have so far. I am pondering setting this script to run from a schedule so there is minimal user involvement. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
tell application "Finder"
set userName to displayed name of home
mount volume "afp://server name/" & userName
set backupFolder to "Volumes:" & userName & ":Entourage Backup:"
--delete every file of backupFolder
end tell
activate application "Microsoft Entourage"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Entourage"
click menu item "Export..." of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
click button 4 of window "Export"
click button 4 of window "Export"
try
click button "Continue" of window 1 --Address book groups cannot be exported.
end try
set value of text field 1 of window "Save" to userName & ".rge" --Still trying to figure out this part
--location
click button "Done" of window "Export"
end tell
end tell
