Visual Source Safe backup configuration Script & deletion of files older than 7 Days in Windows

On Windows Server I configured the “Visual Source Safe” Software Backup. Please find below scripts for Backup configuration.

1.       This script will take backup of VSS repository.

@ECHO OFF

@TITLE Backing up source safe databases

FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%i IN ('date /t') DO SET DATE=%%i-%%j-%%k

C:\Program Files\Native Visual Safe\win32\ssarc -d-  e:\vss_backups\%DATE% General backup.ssa $/QMS “-sF:\vssqms” –y<username>,<Pasword>

@ECHO Finished backups

Where C:\Program Files\Native Visual Safe\win32\ssarc  is path of ssarc command.

            E:\vss_backups\%DATE% General backup.ssa is the destination path of backup.

“-sF:\vssqms” is the path of VSS Directory.

$/QMS is the name of repository in VSS which backup is required. If full backup needed we can use “$/” .

2.       This script will delete 7 days older files in E:\vss_backup directory in Windows.

forfiles /p "E:\vss_backup" /s /m *.*  /c "cmd /c  Del @path" /D -7
