You can run FileFort from the Windows command line. Running in this way allows you to create a new backup task and optionally run it or restore from a previously created backup. Any or all options can be used and repeated as needed. No prompts occur when using command line options. Burn settings and other such options will default to the last used setting. The following command-line arguments are available:
-job jobname
The name of the backup job.
-runnow
Runs the job once complete.
-systemstate
The job will back up the Windows system state.
-type incremental
Will only back up files changed since the last backup.
-type full
Will back up all files.
-list "ListFilePath"
Individual files or folders to back up. You may list one or more files/folders.
-bks "FilePath"
A file containing the list of folders to be backed up. Each folder should be on a separate line and quotation marks should not be used.
-destination file
Copy the backup file to a folder/network drive.
-destination cddvd
Burn the backup file to a CD/DVD/Blu-ray.
-destination ftp
Upload to an FTP server.
-location location
Depending on -destination this is the folder/drive/server to back up to.
-login login name
Login name for FTP server, Google Drive account or Amazon S3 account
-password password
Password for FTP server, Google Drive account or Amazon S3 account
-restore filename
Use this switch to restore a previously backed up file. If the backup is not already on the list, it will be added.
-quiet
Use this switch to suppress any popup messages during backup or restore process.
Example:
"C:\Program Files\NCH Software\FileFort\filefort.exe" -job MtData -type incremental -list "C:\MyDocuments" -destination cddvd -location d: -format zip
Will back up all files in C:\MyDocuments that have changed since the last backup, and burn the resulting backup to disc in the D: drive.
