How do I do a backup on a Windows system? On Linux I'm using system() to
execute the gbak program. I would like to do the same on Windows but it has
a command line maximum length of something tiny like 256 characters so the
command gets truncated. Ideally it would be nice if gbak had an option to
get its params from a file. Something like "gbak @filename" would be cool.
Failing that, anyone know of a way around the short command line length on
Windows?
I've looked into using the service manager but it does the backup to a file
on the server system and I want it done on the client system.
