Request for auto backup of turn files

[alexti]

I do these backups in a very simple fashion: by running a script on Dom2 start (and on hosting too - for SP).

Here's the script: save_script.awk
Code:

---

BEGIN {

	timestamp_file = "Last-total-save-timestamp.txt";

	t = systime();

	stamp = strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S",t);

	stamp2 = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",t);

	saveAll = 1;

	if ((getline Last_stamp < timestamp_file) > 0)

	{

		if (stamp2 == Last_stamp)

			saveAll = 0;

	}

	close(timestamp_file);



	if (saveAll)

	{

		cmd = sprintf("zip -r save-all-%s * -i@save.lst",stamp);

		print stamp2 > timestamp_file;

	}

	else

		cmd = sprintf("zip -r -t %s save-%s * -i@save.lst",Last_stamp,stamp);

	system(cmd);

}

---

You'd need to insert
gawk -f save_script.awk into your Dom2 startup

And you'll need save.lst:
Code:

---

*/ftherlnd

*/*.2h

*/*.trn

---

That's the only Dom2-specific file.
