[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Help with backup

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Karen,


Apologize about the delayed response. I was out ill the last couple of days.


No, this is not a dumb question at all...it is in fact a bug that was fixed last month (just after the 1.0.4 release).


To fix this, just download this script => https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/commits/master/launcher/backup/lib/backup.rb ( click the "Raw" view on Github and use the browser's "Save As" to save the raw script to your computer).  Replace the launcher/backup/lib/backup.rb with this downloaded version.


Alternately, you can just add :


require 'asutils'


To line 12 of your current script (that's the only change).


That should let you run the backup.bat script without any issues...


Let me know if that works.


best,chris.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Help with backup

I really hope this question is not too dumb, as I am still really new at working with DOS and am barely keeping by head above water.

I have Archivesspace running on my Windows 7 laptop against a MySQL database. I am now trying to figure out how to back up my data. I think the directions in the Wiki are mostly Unix-based, so I have been getting some help to try to translate them to DOS. When I run what I think is the correct script, I get an error when it tries to write the zip file. Below is the output that I receive when I run this script, and there is no zip file created. Help?
