where is the filemaker database? on a stand alone fmaker, or on a fm server?<br />
the easiest way to do it, is to use a fake fmbase with just a script triggering the backup script in the main file at its own startup, and have a scheduled or croned task to lauch fm with this fake file.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
