AutoBackup Oracle Forms and Reports 6i

When working on Oracle forms 6i , it crashes and exits suddenly without prompting me.

This caused me to lose hours and hours of work.



Here's a method to solve this using Windows Schedule Task to automatically backup the Forms 6i folder.



1# Assuming You are working on Windows Server 2003

2# Locate the folder Of forms and reports on your hard  (eg: D:\FRMWY-POS )

3# Locate the destination where you want to make the Backup Folder (eg: E:\POS_Backup)

4#Open NOTEPAD and write the following code:

XCopy D:\FRMWY-POS /S /E E:\POS_Backup /R /I /Y



5# Save the file as "Backup.bat"

6#Go to Control Panel , Scheduled Tasks , Add Task

7# After browsing to the bat file open advanced properties for the task

8# Make the task repeat every 2 minutes or any time you want

9# You are done...
