Scheduling Automatated Portfoliocenter Backups In SCHEDULING AUTOMATED PORTFOLIOCENTER®BACKUPS IN WINDOWS VISTA Beginning with PortfolioCenter version 4.40, the Database Manager can use command line codes to schedule tasks, such as backing up. Follow the steps below to create a task for the backup and then create a batch file and task to copy the file across a network, if necessary. This document shows you how to create the scheduled task in the Windows Vista operating system. On the Web This document describes just one of the several options for backing up PortfolioCenter Data. To find the backup method that is best for you, see the document Developing a Backup Plan. Important You must have a Windows User ID and Login password to run the task correctly. Otherwise, you will get an error message when you try to run the scheduled task. STEP 1: CREATE THE BACKUP TASK 1 From the desktop, open the Control Panel: Start | Control Panel 2 Double-click the icon for System and Maintenance. If you are in Classic View, you will not see this screen. You can just double-click on the Scheduled Tasks icon and skip to step 4 below. 3 In the System and Maintenance view, scroll down to the Administrative Tools option, and then click on the Schedule Tasks link.

For example, the code should look like this if you want 5 backups: …\PCMC.exe” /snapin:dbm /backup:5 11 Click OK to close the New Action dialog. Scheduling Automated PortfolioCenter® Backups in Windows Vista Page 3 of 5 STEP 2: CREATE A TASK TO COPY THE FILES Because you cannot backup to a network location, some users choose to copy the backup file to either an external drive or another computer on the network. To accomplish this task, you must create a batch file (.BAT) and use the Xcopy command to copy the backup file, and then schedule a task to run the batch file after the backup completes. Follow the steps below to create and schedule the xCopy function. CREATING A BAT FILE 1 Open NotePad: Start | All Programs | Accessories | NotePad 2 Select and copy the text below into the blank NotePad document: Xcopy "C:\Program Files\Schwab Performance Technologies\Databases\Backups\*.*" "Network Location" /E /Y 3 Replace the “Network Location” portion with the path on the network you want to copy the file to. For example, let’s say you want to copy the file to the Backup folder on the networked T drive, enter: T:\Backup\ So in this example, the path on the .BAT file looks like this: Xcopy "C:\Program Files\Schwab Performance Technologies\Databases\Backups\*.*" "T:\Backup\" /E /Y 4 Save the file as a .BAT file. From the menu bar, select File | Save As. In the Save In field, select the location to which you want to save the file. For example, you can save the file to your desktop. Select a location that makes the file easy to find. In the File Name field, enter a file name.BAT, such as PCBackupCopy.BAT. In the Save as Type field, select All Files. Click Save to save the file. SCHEDULE THE TASK 1 Open Scheduled Task Wizard: Start | Control Panel | Scheduled Tasks | Add Scheduled Task 2 Click Next to bypass the first page. 3 You are prompted to select the application you want to schedule. Click the Browse… button and browse to the .BAT file you created above. Click Open. 4 Click Next. 5 Enter a name for the task, such as Backup Copy, and then select the frequency to run the task. Click Next. NOTE: it is a best practice to copy the backup each time one is made – such as daily. Scheduling Automated PortfolioCenter® Backups in Windows Vista Page 4 of 5 6 Select the start time. Make sure the time to start the copy is at least 1 hour after the start of the backup. For example, if the backup starts at 2:00 am, select 3:00 am for this task. Under the Perform This Task section, select Weekdays, and then click Next. 7 Enter your network user name and password, confirm the password, and then click Next. 8 Click Finish.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • This Document Explains How to Copy Ondemand5 Data to Your Hard Drive
    Copying Your Repair DVD Data To Your Hard Drive Introduction This document explains how to copy OnDemand5 Repair data to your hard drive, and how to configure your OnDemand software appropriately. The document is intended for your network professional as a practical guide for implementing Mitchell1’s quarterly updates. The document provides two methods; one using the Xcopy command in a DOS window, and the other using standard Windows Copy and Paste functionality. Preparing your System You will need 8 Gigabytes of free space per DVD to be copied onto a hard drive. Be sure you have the necessary space before beginning this procedure. Turn off screen savers, power down options or any other program that may interfere with this process. IMPORTANT NOTICE – USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: This information is provided as a courtesy to assist those who desire to copy their DVD disks to their hard drive. Minimal technical assistance is available for this procedure. It is not recommended due to the high probability of failure due to DVD drive/disk read problems, over heating, hard drive write errors and memory overrun issues. This procedure is very detailed and should only be performed by users who are very familiar with Windows and/or DOS commands. Novice computers users should not attempt this procedure. Copying Repair data from a DVD is a time-consuming process. Depending on the speed of your processor and/or network, could easily require two or more hours per disk. For this reason, we recommend that you perform the actual copying of data during non-business evening or weekend hours.

  • Creating and Formatting Partitions
    Creating and formatting partitions Home Download Docs FAQ Forum Creating and formatting partitions SUNDAY, 14 NOVEMBER 2010 12:27 JAY Creating & formatting partitions in Porteus There are two ways to do things in Porteus. Using a GUI (graphical User Interface) or from a console prompt. If you prefer using a GUI then you can download a module called 'gparted' which takes care of creating and modifying partitions. Double click the module from within Porteus to activate it or place the module in the modules folder if you want it to be available automatically when you boot Porteus. Click here to get gparted. Once activated it should appear in your menu system and you can start it and create your partitions. If it does not exist in the menu then open a console and type: gparted Creating partitions from a console: There is a built in application to modify your partition table in Porteus. It is called cfdisk and gives you a CUI (console user interface) to manage your partition through. Simply open your console and type: cfdisk Another built in function for modifying partitions is called fdisk which also uses a CUI. The benefit of fdisk is that it can be called from a script. You should know the path of your USB device before using this option which you can get from typing: fdisk -l at console. Once you know the path of your USB device you would start fdisk by typing: fdisk /dev/sdb where sdb is the path of your usb. Don't include the number on the end (for example /dev/sdb1) as you will need to modify the entire devices partition table.

  • Configuring Your Login Session
    SSCC Pub.# 7-9 Last revised: 5/18/99 Configuring Your Login Session When you log into UNIX, you are running a program called a shell. The shell is the program that provides you with the prompt and that submits to the computer commands that you type on the command line. This shell is highly configurable. It has already been partially configured for you, but it is possible to change the way that the shell runs. Many shells run under UNIX. The shell that SSCC users use by default is called the tcsh, pronounced "Tee-Cee-shell", or more simply, the C shell. The C shell can be configured using three files called .login, .cshrc, and .logout, which reside in your home directory. Also, many other programs can be configured using the C shell's configuration files. Below are sample configuration files for the C shell and explanations of the commands contained within these files. As you find commands that you would like to include in your configuration files, use an editor (such as EMACS or nuTPU) to add the lines to your own configuration files. Since the first character of configuration files is a dot ("."), the files are called "dot files". They are also called "hidden files" because you cannot see them when you type the ls command. They can only be listed when using the -a option with the ls command. Other commands may have their own setup files. These files almost always begin with a dot and often end with the letters "rc", which stands for "run commands".
