Backing up Sytem State

[Matthew VanDerlofske]

I have been looking into different ways to do this. I would like to prove autoit's worth to my coworkers, can autoit initiate a system state backup? I have not seen a way to do this through autoit.

I dont think that you can make it actually open system restores by itself, but you could make it open the start menu and click.

Yeah, and I can setup windows backup to backup the system state on reboot, however I cannot find a way to do a mass roll out that way. If I could create a exe that would initiate the backup on reboot I could roll that out easily.

[James]

It wouldnt work. If you restore you lose documents and stuff made by the future time.

Joon: He said that he wanted to control the whole restore, not just the beginning.

Try this

$LABEL = @MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC
$PARAMETER = 'backup SystemState /J "' & $LABEL & '" /V:YES /L:f /M normal /f "\\RemoteServer\Share\' & @ComputerName & ' - SystemState.bkf"'
Run (@SystemDir & '\NTBACKUP.EXE ' & $PARAMETER)

Question is how to determined succesfully reboot.
