Command Line

 

Office Backup allows to perform a number of its operations with the use of the command line. In this way you can perform Office Backup commands without opening the program window, either with any appropriate program (like "Far manager", for instance), through a created shortcut to Office Backup agent or through the "Run" option from the Windows "Start" menu.

 

Office Backup command line syntax (keys and the corresponding Office Backup actions) is displayed in the following command line Help window:

 

 

You can use either a full key or its contracted form provided in round brackets (e.g., either "-Delete" or "-d" for deleting items).

 

-help (-?): shows the Help window;

-Delete (-d) <items>: deletes the specified items;

-DeleteAll (-da): deletes all the items;

-Stop (-s) <items>: stops operations with the specified items;

-StopAll (-sa): stops operations with all the items;

-Execute (-e) <items>: executes operations with the specified items;

-ExecuteAll (-ea): execute operations with all the items.

 

Note that the ExecuteAll option cannot be used when backing up to a CD. Also you cannot backup several items at once when backing up to a CD, as in this case only the item that has managed to lock the CD first will be backed up.

 

Below there are some examples of the command line usage.

  • For example, during your workday you need to backup an item named "Backup_work_files" periodically. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the Office Backup obagent.exe file location. Right-click on the shortcut icon to get the menu, select the "Properties" option, choose the "Shortcut" tab and in the "Target" box type the required command and specify the item name ( -e "Backup_work_files"). Press "OK" and close the dialog. Then, every time you need to perform a backup of the item, just double-click the shortcut icon.

  • Also, you can perform the required operations through the "Run" option from the Windows "Start" menu. Specify the Office Backup obagent.exe file location, then type the required command and press "OK".
