Back Up the Vault from the Command Line
Back up a vault using the command line.
Important: The backup switch requires a vault administrator account.
- Make sure no users are connected to the vault.
- Run Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe from a command line with the following switches:
Note: In Autodesk Vault Professional the Hot Backup feature allows the backup to run while users are connected to the Vault.
