Automatic backup of Config.xml and NPVR.db3

[p37307]

I don't know how anyone else feels but I would like to see an automatic backup option in the MISC options that rolls config.xml and npvr.db3 for 5 days like what happens to the logs.

Just a simple input field of what directory you want it backed up to. In my case it's going to external drive g:\npvrbackup

I added some code to run in my PostUpdateEPG.bat file but it might be something to consider in the next update by default.

I included a "mock up" with the feature added.

Although it would be nice if it could be done automatically in a zipped file.

Code:

@Echo off
GoTo :BEGIN

:: Roll config.xml & npvr.db3 once per day when the EPG update is triggered

:BEGIN
    SETLOCAL
    Set SCRIPTNAME=%0
    Set BASEDIR="c:\users\public\npvr"
    Set DATA=%BASEDIR%\npvr.db3
    Set DATA2=%BASEDIR%\config.xml
    SET Setbackup="g:\npvrbackup\npvr.db3"
    SET Setbackup2="g:\npvrbackup\config.xml"
    
:ROLL_backup
        
  If EXIST %Setbackup%.4 COPY %Setbackup%.4 %Setbackup%.5 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup%.3 COPY %Setbackup%.3 %Setbackup%.4 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup%.2 COPY %Setbackup%.2 %Setbackup%.3 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup%.1 COPY %Setbackup%.1 %Setbackup%.2 > nul
    If EXIST %DATA%   COPY %DATA% %Setbackup%.1 > nul

If EXIST %Setbackup2%.4 COPY %Setbackup2%.4 %Setbackup2%.5 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup2%.3 COPY %Setbackup2%.3 %Setbackup2%.4 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup2%.2 COPY %Setbackup2%.2 %Setbackup2%.3 > nul
    If EXIST %Setbackup2%.1 COPY %Setbackup2%.1 %Setbackup2%.2 > nul
    If EXIST %DATA2%   COPY %DATA2% %Setbackup2%.1 > nul

    GoTo :EOF




GoTo :EXITJOB

    Exit /b

I also support this request. I recently had a case where NextPVR failed in some manner on a Monday but I was not able to investigate until I returned from out of the country on Friday. Please also add a config variable that controls how many log files kept in the log folder.
