I'm a bit late in posting this but it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I promised my slide deck and scripts so here they are:
STSADM.pptx ![]()
Change Password Script ![]()
Sample Install Script
And here's the "quick and dirty" batch file that I showed which demonstrates an easy way to store the last 10 backups of all your site collections within a web application:
SET FOLDERNAME=%2 SET DIR=c:\backups\%FOLDERNAME%\ SET URL=%1 mkdir %DIR% rmdir /S /Q %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%10 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%9 %FOLDERNAME%10 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%8 %FOLDERNAME%9 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%7 %FOLDERNAME%8 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%6 %FOLDERNAME%7 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%5 %FOLDERNAME%6 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%4 %FOLDERNAME%5 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%3 %FOLDERNAME%4 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%2 %FOLDERNAME%3 ren %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%1 %FOLDERNAME%2 mkdir %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%1 stsadm -o gl-backupsites -url %URL% -path %DIR%%FOLDERNAME%1 -scope webapplication
Just create a schedule task and pass in the URL to the web application and a directory friendly name to store the files under: c:\>backup.bat http://portal portal
It's crude but it works :) - just remember that this is a stop gap that you can use until you get your backup strategy worked out - it's also helpful for development environments - just don't rely on this as your production backup strategy!

I didn't realize my ISP was blocking pptx files - fixed now - thanks for the heads up.
