Automated/Scheduled exports of BIMServer projects

[Haneef Tayob]

I would like to see automated/scheduled exports of projects on the BIMServer.

This will allow us to safely backup bimserver projects to the "teamwork portable package" format which easily restorable onto any bimserver at any time. The backups can be sent offsite.

The existing backup options such as "rollback" are good, but one will be in trouble in the event of a major hardware failure.

In AC 14 a complete comprehensive and simple backup solution will be available. It packages all projects, users, libraries and can be unpacked on a different machine. Essentially this wish will be addressed with it. I am quite excited about this tool. It is also possible to run this tool while the BIM Server is running. No need to stop the BIM Server to be sure that the databases are in a static state.

You should also note that (even in AC 13) there is a way to bring in scheduled backups from other projects as new projects or versions of current one. See http://www.archicadwiki.com/Teamwork/Backup#Can_I_copy_a_project_backup_that_was_stored_to_tape.2BAC...
