Backup script for SageTV

[White94Cobra]

After having SageTV corrupt or lose the propterties or bin files one too many times, I wrote this little script to do daily backups of those files. It creates compressed .RAR files of the Sage.Properties and Wiz.Bin files with the date of the backup in the filename.

If you installed Sage in a different directory you'll need to change the paths. You'll also need to make a new directory as C:\PROGRAM FILES\FREY TECHNOLOGIES\BACKUP. I use WINRAR to compress the backups. I just copied the executable into the Frey directory. I then schedule it via Windows scheduler to backup in the middle of the night. Hope this helps someone.
