Single user backup script for Lotus Notes.

Here is a script I created to backup a users profile within Lotus Notes. It's a quick and dirty but you should get the idea.

Save this into a batch (.bat extension) file. Make sure the user can utilize reg.exe. By default it is a part of Windows XP and 2000.

I suggest running something like this at the system startup. This will avoid any corruption that may happen from the user opening notes.

I have a "replace.vbs" that updates the notes.ini with the correct install location (in case you are moving to a new box). I will post it later. *Update: You can find the replace.vbs here Single user backup script for Lotus Notes Part 2.

REM This creates the C:\NotesBackup\data directory
MD C:\NotesBackup\data\

REM Takes us to the root of C:\

REM Queries registry for the lotus notes key.
REM Determines where the files we need to backup are located.

REM I will post "replace.vbs" later. This vbs allows us to update the notes.ini with the proper location.
REM wscript h:\replace.vbs

REM This makes another folder.
MD g:\notesbackup\

REM Copies c:\Notesbackup to another location.
