Revolving around the core of technology
I have a SQL backup that occurs late at night. That job places some rather large .bak files on a server running the Syncrify client. I'd like to fire off a post-backup script that launches a console-based backup to copy those files off-site to the Syncrify server. How can I remotely script a job to start? Thanks!
Scott,
Why not use the SQL Server Plugin in Syncrify? That runs in two phases. Phase I will create *.bak file(s) and phase II will move them to the remove machine using Syncrify.
Another alternative is to use the Post/Pre plugin in Syncrify.
The SQL backup is part of a larger string of operations. I'd love to use Syncrify instead, but my hands are tied. All I can do is launch a script when the job is done. Or, ideally, have Syncrify monitor a folder for changes while the SQL backup is occuring so that it could start copying files as soon as each .BAK file was finished being written to that folder...
Sure, no problem. You can certainly spawn Syncrify backup at the end of your processing. There are two variations:
