FileBack PC Command Line BackupsThis utility may be run from an MS-DOS prompt as long as Windows is running,
or any Windows program capable of launching programs. The format of the
command line is as follows: | FileBack.exe [option(s)] [identifier(s)] |
The following options are available: | /shutdown | Shuts down FileBack PC at completion of the backup. | | | -s | Suppress all dialog boxes, using default options |

File extension must be FBCfg. | | Backup Job ID | This is an 8-digit hexadecimal number, shown in the Advanced Backup Job Editor in the upper right-hand corner of the window (the backup ID will never change, even if the description and options do change.) | | Backup Job Description | The description line, as specified in the backup job editor, and shown in on the "Backup Jobs" page of the main FileBack PC window. If this description contains a space, the entire name must be enclosed in "double-quotation" marks. | | Group ID | This is an 8-digit hexadecimal number, which is not shown visually anywhere in FileBack PC. If you wish to know what your group IDs are, please e-mail a copy of your configuration file to MOS. | | Group Name | The name of an existing backup group.
