Topic: WeatherLink Backup Script

[darkpenguin]

I finally got around to writing a script that I can automate the backup of my WeatherLink data.  If you are interested, the script and documentation are available on my site.

Here's the overview of the current feature set:

• Specify a drive/folder location of your WeatherLink data that you will be backing up.
• Specify a drive/folder that you send this backup data.
• To organize your backups, this script will automatically create the following folder layout:
  <Drive Letter>:\YYYY\MM\DD\wlb_hhmm
• Configure this script to keep backups for any length of time, the only limitation is the amount of available drive space.
• Backups that are older than the configured archive interval are automatically purged.
• Email notifications. If enabled, the script will send an email each time it is ran, indicating a successful or failed backup. Backup and drive space statistics are also included.
• Designed with the intention of being ran as an automated task, backups can be taken at any frequency.
• Supports Windows 7 and Server 2008, PowerShell version 2 and higher. For alert notifications, an upgrade PowerShell to Version 3 is necessary. This should work on any version of Windows with at least PowerShell version 2, but it has only been tested on these two platforms.

I find wx2sql far more interesting!  Keep us informed.

Good to hear, when it is ready for testing, I will post an update on it.
