Ant scripts for backup of OpenEdge databases.

This is a very simple Ant script to backup any number of databases, and handle the After Image Archive files for that database. This can very easily be incorporated into Jenkins to run on a schedule.

To run, install Ant. Install Ant Contrib. Customise backup.properties. Command line: ant -f DBBackup.xml

Not necessary but prints a basic list of property values to the terminal. Useful for problem determination when running automated under Jenkins

Backs up the actual databases. Runs offline or online depending on property value. Does not use probkup, but rather replicates the logic of this script, as Jenkins has a hard time getting return values from batch files.

Runs a partial verify of the backup file. Useful for checking there are no bad blocks.
