YOU HAVE TO USE WINDOWS SCHEDULER TO BACKUP SUCCESSFULLY:
Add new task and enter username/password(ws1/ws1) have to have this, then set schedule time before clicking finish check box for advanced features and in the run box paste in the following:
R:RetailPro9TechToolkit.exe /u:sysadmin /p:sysadmin /m:b /bstype:c /bsc:yes /l:r:Backup /s /startup:after
This will restart the database and close the techtollbox after the backup completes
THIS IS THE OLD WAY THAT DOES NOT WORK BECASUE THE RPRO SCHEDULER IS PART OF THE DATA BASE. FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
c:retailpro9rpro9schedule.exe /u:sysadmin /p:sysadmin /m:b /bstype:i /bsc:yes /l:c:test /s
[path to the toolkit] /u:[username] /p:[password] /m:[mode (b is backup)] /bstype: [backup type (c = complete i = incremental)] /bsc:[compress? (yes or no) /l:[location of backup] /s (run silent)
You have to stop the rpro9schedule service so you can run schedule editor, define the parameters and then start the service again.
Example : /u:sysadmin /p:sysadmin /m:b /bstype:c /bsc:yes /l:r:Backup
