I am running 8.5.7. I guess my issue is due to my inexperience. When trying to script these processes I am getting a little lost on what will do what. My process in which my script will run is the following:
it will ping a server on the network. if it doesn't ping it then the script ends, if it does then it will check if there were any missed backups. if there weren't then it will end. if there were then it will initiate the backup process (without letting the user have the option to cancel.)
so far i have the ping part down. my problem is to be able to script where it will find out if there missed backups.
any ideas??
