Call the script “backup_daily.cmd” and run it on weekdays.  You don’t have to run it each day; you can run it only on saturdays or every other day; you decide.  It will save data in the following folders:

1_Monday
2_Tuesday
3_Wednesday
4_Thursday
5_Friday
6_Saturday
7_Sunday

Each time the script is run, the appropriate weekday folder will be overwritten.

Note: You will need a longer term backup job as well, as after 1 week you can no longer restore files you deleted more than a week ago.

Call the script “backup_manual.cmd” and run it once a week, once a term or once a year if you like.  It will save data in a ‘year’ folder i.e. “2015” which will be overwritten each time the script is run.  The next year, it will start overwriting next year’s folder.

Note: You will need sufficient free space on your USB hard disk as each year a new backup set is created.

There are a few rules to keep in mind when creating an HTML email:

• HTML fixed width tables should be used for layout.  Using div tags may work, but is not recommended as this is more suited for dynamic rather than fixed page layouts.
• You can use CSS for inline elements such as background colors and fonts styling.
• You can use CSS img tags for images.  Use absolute links like “http://…” and not relative links like “/images/…”
• Give your images alt attributes; it’s absolutely vital in HTML emails.  By default, many email clients do not display images when an email is first opened. Instead, they ask users to actively choose to display images.
• Remember to wrap each block of text in span tags.  This allows you to specify formatting styles.  Set the font-family to arial, sans-serif; and the color to black.
