Backup - can be run from Command Line ?
 
Hello Guys,

It is possible to make a full backup without having The Bat! opened? From Command Line or similar?
I need to make backups regularly and processing it manually takes much time - would be perfect to have the possibility to put all parameters in a command and run it from Windows CMD.

I don't know about a comman line switch to do this, but you can use the internal scheduler from TB :) just set-up a new schedule entry and select a backup task and then choose a cycle... you can also have a "five minute warning" or something for this (however, TB will be unresponsive while backing-up its files)
 
in fact making a copy of your mail folder is a full backup. To backup an individual account, make a copy of the account subfolder. TB keeps very few non-essential things outside the mail folder.
So if you have WinRAR or another archiver with command line support, you can schedule archiving of the mail folder(or do it manually), with various options - like to update the existing archive to create a new one containing only files modified in the last X days etc.
