backup

I need to create a batch file that copies a file and increments it upon placing it at the destination. Example. copy C:\TEMP\MyDoc.txt E:\MyData\ Essentially, I need this copy command to copy every time I start it (which it does now just fine). I would like it to increment the file name instead of overwrite it though. If I ran this three times or 100 times (never a certain number) I would like to see on the "MyData" folder: MyDoc.txt MyDoc(1).txt ... Or Copy (1) I'm not really sure what the syntax is for a duplicated file nor do I necessarily care. I just want to ensure that I'm not

I created an application which creates and stores files to sdcard. Is there a way to bind the folder with application in order to delete all files when the user runs uninstall on android device? Prashast There's no way for your application to know that it is being uninstalled (without modifying the kernel). All files created in the data/data/your.app.package is deleted automatically upon application uninstall. I don't think anything is cleared from the sdcard. You can do a quick test and find that out. Another approach could be to have another application that checks whether this application

Are there any documented techniques for speeding up mySQL dumps and imports? This would include my.cnf settings, using ramdisks, etc. Looking only for documented techniques, preferably with benchmarks showing potential speed-up. http://www.maatkit.org/ has a mk-parallel-dump and mk-parallel-restore If you’ve been wishing for multi-threaded mysqldump, wish no more. This tool dumps MySQL tables in parallel. It is a much smarter mysqldump that can either act as a wrapper for mysqldump (with sensible default behavior) or as a wrapper around SELECT INTO OUTFILE. It is designed for high-performance

I'd like to avoid mysqldump since that outputs in a form that is only convenient for mysql to read. CSV seems more universal (one file per table is fine). But if there are advantages to mysqldump, I'm all ears. Also, I'd like something I can run from the command line (linux). If that's a mysql script, pointers to how to make such a thing would be helpful. If you can cope with table-at-a-time, and your data is not binary, use the -B option to the mysql command. With this option it'll generate TSV (tab separated) files which can import into Excel, etc, quite easily: % echo 'SELECT * FROM table'

I've been too lax with performing DB backups on our internal servers. Is there a simple command line program that I can use to backup certain databases in SQL Server 2005? Or is there a simple VBScript? To backup a single database from the command line, use osql or sqlcmd . "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\osql.exe" -E -Q "BACKUP DATABASE mydatabase TO DISK='C:\tmp\db.bak' WITH FORMAT" You'll also want to read the documentation on BACKUP and RESTORE and general procedures . Martin Meixger I use ExpressMaint . To backup all user databases I do for example: C:\>ExpressMaint
