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.
Entourage is actually quite scriptable, but that particular option wasn’t in 2004, (it is in 2008, however, that doesn’t help you).
Looking at what you have, I can’t see any way to shrink it down. Note that you don’t have to manually add the .rge extension, E’rage will do that for you. Also, you shouldn’t have to delete the existing backups, just let E’rage handle it.
You may want to play with the timeout values for this, if you’re backing up everything up, as it can take a while, esp. on slower machines.
