Several CMD utilities for system management

Since I haven't contributed squat to the forum in months, here's a useful little command file I use for switching network configurations when I travel internationally, but also can be used for keeping different configs for work, home office, and school.

Save as a .cmd file and call/schedule it anywhere you need. Enjoy




@ECHO OFF
REM
REM This batch file essentially loads a "configuration file" for a
REM network connection that has been configured previously (and
REM then exported to a backup file using netsh.exe ).
REM
REM To use this utility to create backup files that contain individual
REM network connection configurations here is what you do.
REM
REM First, you open Network Connections and make sure the single connection
REM you want to backup is configured properly
REM
REM Then ENABLE only that connection (disable all others). The netsh that
REM exports the connection configuration will only export enabled connections
REM
REM Open a command window and type the following command to create a backup file
REM with the .netsh file extension
REM
REM netsh -c interface dump > c:\your_connection_filename_here.netsh
REM
REM Repeat this process to create network configuration files for each
REM network interface configuration of interest
REM
REM After you create multiple .netsh backup configurations for each network
REM profile that you want to be able to switch between quickly, you
REM edit the batch file list (in the batch below) to show your
REM list and allow selection of the desired network config.
REM
REM And of course, you could always throw this command file into
REM your list of auto start programs if you switch all the time
REM between work, home office, and school

If you like the idea of doing layered backup strategies, here is a command file I use to do my ZIP based backups layer.

You will need to do considerable editing for your particulars, but you get the point. Backups can be directed at multiple targets including your host FTP bulk backup directory.

Save as a.CMD file of course

Enjoy

To do your FTP with ws_ftp, you need a couple of .SCP files like this:

"ws_ftp_v100.scp"

CONNECT accountname.web.aplus.net
CD egmd901c.bak
LCD c:/temp/zipbakup
MPUT *.zip*
CLOSE


And a second .SCP that looks like this to move the logs after backup runs

"ws_ftp_log_v100.scp"

CONNECT accountname.web.aplus.net
CD egmd901c.bak
LCD c:/temp/zipbakup
MPUT *.log
CLOSE







Directory of output files produced looks like this for quick and full backups...
Volume in drive E is PROGS
Volume Serial Number is 9624-6720
