This BAT file (renamed as .txt for downloading purposes), is for doing a nightly backup and restore of a database on an NT platform only. It does the restore to a copy of the production database. My apps accept a parameter pointing to the database. I usually put up a production and training icon on each user's desktop pointing to the respective
databases. So I backup nightly, check the backup by restoring to a database and have a fresh, up to date, training database each day.
The file should be generalized (drive and path names, etc) but I find I usually work it through each time adding whatever else I've come across.
The BAT file is really derived from input from several other people whose names I have lost. I apologize in advance to them and acknowledge my debt.

A while ago I read some articles written by Bill Todd about
Interbase's MGA and record versioning in general that were published in
Delphi Informant. I wrote to Bill to ask him if could put the articles up on
his web site, which he has kindly done.
