[p4] Example Windows backup script?

[Sheizaf, Yariv]

HI,

Hereby is an old style BAT script I use for Perforce backup over the
last 10 years:



REM Perforce database is located in d:\p4server

d:

cd d:\p4server

REM delete old checkpoint files
del checkpoint.*

REM delete old journal files, except the active journal file
del journal.1*
del journal.2*
del journal.3*
del journal.4*
del journal.5*
del journal.6*
del journal.7*
del journal.8*
del journal.9*

REM create new checkpoint file. Truncate journal file
p4d -jc -z

REM verify database integrity vs. repository
REM    Note: Can take a lot of time. In big databases run it separately
in a REM          different scheduled task
P4 verify -q //...


REM    Backup the checkpoint file, the truncated journal file and the
REM    repository files (RCS + gzip) to an external media, once the 
REM    checkpoint process is completed
