Addendum: The Importance of Being Earnest (about Autodesk Vault Backups).

“Trust, but verify.”

Damon Runyon


Sometimes you need a little help from your friends.

One of our applications engineers, Mike Carlson, sent me an e-mail reminding me of two more switches that can be added to your Autodesk Vault backup scripts, discussed in the blog 'The Importance of Being Earnest" here.

Here are the additional switches he sent me.

• -VAL Validates the backup. Errors are recorded in the specified log file.
• -INC Performs an incremental backup. Tells Vault only to backup files that have changed.

Thanks for pointing that out, Mike!
