Ever wondered how to take a full manual backup of your windows sharepoint services 3.0 [wss] site? Of course you can use stsadm command to do a full backup but you'll have to run this command every time you need to take your site's backup.

Below is a .bat script that you can use to automate this manual process. It automatically creates a filename for you and takes your wss site's backup. You can schedule this .bat file using windows schedule and your wss site's backup will take care of itself.

... and here's the script:

@echo off
echo +++++++++++++++++
echo Initializing backup...
echo Starting backup...
echo +++++++++++++++++
for /f "delims=/ tokens=1-3" %%a in ("%DATE:~4%") do (
        for /f "delims=:. tokens=1-4" %%m in ("%TIME: =0%") do (
            set FILENAME=site_backup-%%c-%%b-%%a-%%m%%n%%o%%p
        )
    )

c:
cd \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN
@echo off
stsadm.exe -o backup -url http://server -filename D:\%FILENAME%.dat -overwrite
echo Backup complete.

Simply copy, and then save the above script as a .bat file, and that's it.

Hope it helps, as it definitely helped me. As always, thank you to all those who helped me create this script.

Narrated Abu Bakr RA,

The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,

"The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa' da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumadi-ath-Thaniyah and Sha ban."

Sahih Al-Bukhari, book of Beginning of Creation

Rajab has started last Friday

Shaban starts August ~ 2nd

Ramadan starts September ~ 1st.

Dallas Cowboys New Stadium is the working title of a new stadium being built in Arlington, Texas for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

Source: Wikipedia.        The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, is the 13th edition of the UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament for European nations. The tournament, which is being hosted by Austria and Switzerland, began on 7 June 2008 and is scheduled to conclude with the final at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on 29 June 2008. It is the second successful joint bid in the competition's history, following the UEFA Euro 2000 hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2012 competition in Poland and Ukraine is scheduled to become the third jointly-hosted tournament.

A total of 16 teams are participating in the tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying matches which began in August 2006. Austria and Poland have both made their first appearance in the tournament. The winner of Euro 2008 will represent UEFA at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, unless Italy wins the tournament, in which case the runner-up will be entered, as Italy is already entered as the winner of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
