Saving a copy of your DB is quite an easy operation. It saving the DB in a folder outside of live is the tough part. The easiest way to do it is as such:
- On your local machine, make three folders exactly like there are on the server:
Closed Databases
Live Databases
Incoming Databases
- Put your DB in either the live or the incoming folder and open it.
- Go into scriptmaker and make a script. Name it something like "saveacopy". Find the operation "Save a Copy as". Specify the folder "Closed Databases" by browsing to it.
- Upload your DB to our server and make it live.
- If you are using lasso, the call to the script is quite easy. Make a .lasso page and place this inline tag in it:
[Inline: Scripts, Database='dbname', DoScript='saveacopy']
[/Inline]
So, now every time you load this page, a copy of your DB will get placed in the Closed Databases folder.
