Automatic Backup

[allmendinger]

Hi,

Is there a way of automating a backup of projects and exporting them to another location when for example I close zenon development or periodically during runtime.

Thanks

By now such a functionallity is not available in zenOn.

With next generation of zenOn (version after 6.22) it will be possible to create project backups via VBA

for example I close zenon development

-> Within the Project_Inactive Event a project backup could be then processed....

This event is executed on deactivating the project in the Runtime.
A project is deactivated at the following actions:
· Closing the Runtime
· Reloading
· Redundancy update

or periodically during runtime

-> I guess you are meaning the runtime of the zenOn Editor....
-> This would be a little be more tricky... with the help of a timer or something like this....
-> Due to the project is unloaded from the workspace when creating a project backup you might get in some troubles with such an automatism...

Regards,
Herbert

Ouuups.... there is a mistake in my previous post

-> Within the Project_Inactive Event a project backup could be then processed....

This event is executed on deactivating the project in the Runtime.
A project is deactivated at the following actions:
· Closing the Runtime
· Reloading
· Redundancy update

-> this event is of course for the zenOn Runtime

ZenWorkspace_Exit() is the equivalent event for the zenOn Editor....

Is there a new way to automate creating project backups? Zenon 7.11
Or only through ZenWorkspace_Exit()?

Hi all!
This weekends i have some time, and tried to realise automatic backup in Zenon Editor.
I encountered with some problems:
- When i put code in Private Sub ZenWorkspace_OnWorkspaceExit() backup doesn't makes. Dont know why.
- I put code in ZenWorkspace_OnPreProjectUnload(ByVal obProject As IProject). When i close Zenon Editor, this simple code is running:

b = Me.CreateProjectBackup("BOTVES", "D:\Project\Backupprj" & Date & ".zip", "", True)

Backup is starting to make.....and....i always have an error (look at picture. Its in russian, in English it mean "zenon Editor has stopped working, Check online..., Close...., Debug the program"). Backup doesn't create

What I`m doing wrong?
Zenon Editor 7.11 SP0 Build12493 32Bit
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32bit

Hello diemon,

it is not possible to create a backup while terminating the zenon Editor.

If you want to use a VBA macro for creating the backup you have to execute it manually (icon bar) or use the standard way (zenon tree -> Project backup)

Best regards,
Daniela.

Here is my version of creating backup and sending it via email:
In VBA -> ZWorkspace -> Zenrt32 create very simple Sub

Public Sub Create_backup()
 a = MsgBox("Create backup and send it via email?", vbOKCancel)
     If a = 1 Then b = Me.CreateProjectBackup("BOTVES", "D:\Project\BOTVES" & Date & ".zip", "", True)
     If b = True Then Shell "D:\Project\send_backup.bat"
End Sub

Then in Editor: Options -> Toolbars -> Macro list


send_backup.bat:

@ECHO OFF
::Directory with backups:
SET BACKUPDIRECTORY=D:\Project
set mailsender=mailsend1.17b14.exe  
set smtpsender=example@mail.ru 
set smtpsenderfullname=NAMEtest 
set smtpserver=smtp.mail.ru 
set smtpport=465 
set smtpuser=example@mail.ru
set smtppwd="Password_here" 
set mailto=example@mail.ru
::mailsender = mailto mean that i send email to myself

PUSHD %BACKUPDIRECTORY%
FOR %%A in (*.zip) do CALL :Subroutine %%A
POPD

TITLE Mail has been send!
ECHO Mail has been send!


GOTO:EOF

:Subroutine
set BNAME=%1

TITLE Sending %BNAME%
ECHO Sending %BNAME%

%mailsender% -smtp %smtpserver% -port %smtpport% -ssl -auth -user %smtpuser% -pass %smtppwd% -t %mailto% -f "%smtpsender%" -name "%smtpsenderfullname%" +cc +bc -v -q  -sub "backup" -M "Zenon backup" -attach %BNAME%
forfiles.exe -m botves*.zip -c "cmd /c del @FILE"
GOTO:EOF

mailsend1.17b14.exe - freeware utility to send email
forfiles.exe - utility in Win7/Server2008 to delete files.
