Actually, Let me expand on that.
We design web based data management tools for non profit orgs. None of them have the budget to hire an IT person nor does “normal staff” really have the understanding (or access) to log into a server and make manual backups (we are talking about social workers and case managers). Even when someone on staff does, often it is the Executive Director (E.D.) that is the most knowledgeable on how to do this, however for the E.D. of an org to take time out of their schedule to manually do backups is really time critical and typically does not get done, except maybe once or twice
It would be BEYOND wonderful to be able to perform a backup so that i can simple mount the MyLittleAdmin like a server object (dll) give MyLittleBackup a one line call from an application (ASP vb-script / php) that says, “backup database xxxx and place it at X:\directory\” This way we can use the servers background jobs/scheduling/cron to automate the process by calling this code.
(Right now we have a daily report that runs and 1 am every day and generates statistics for clients, it would be great to add in about 3 lines of code and automatically backup their full databases too)
Or...
To automatically set the interval to do a backup and place it at “X:\directory\”
i would even be willing to write the interface for you if yo don’t have the time.
