BIMCloudBasicBackupScript

Unfortunately BIMCloud Basic has no backup option included.

That is why I wrote my own script, based on the BimCloud v24 backup script from Graphisoft: http://dl.graphisoft.com/ftp/techsupport/documentation/BIMcloud_Backup_Guide/v24PcServerAndManagerBk... I was unable to find a newer official template. Please let me know if you spot a new one. The script was tested (30.11.2023) to work with BIMCloud 2023.3.

The script is just a single backup.bat batch file.

Please carefully read the comments in the script. Every line that starts with "REM" is a comment and not code. Adjust the paths and services accordingly. Be carefull to read the fine print during the BIMCloud installation, if you have BIMCloud basic, do NOT set a Backup destination path during the installation! Like the original script vom ArchiCAD, this script only creates a single backup state. If you want multiple backup days/states, you should consider some kind of file versioning or snapshots of your backup destination. Remember to always test the script and make sure it really works. I don't take any responsibility. If you need technical support or have questions, please open an issue or contact mail@salzmann.solutions

Requirements that are out of the scope of this repository:

  • Windows task scheduler to automatically start this script automatically (but you can import the BIMBackup27.xml to start with)
  • File versioning or snapshots to have multiple backup states
