3CX backups corrupted!

[Camal]

Hi,

A thunderstorm killed my PBX, and I'm now trying to restore it on new hardware. The BIG problem is that 3CX tells me all my backups are corrupted! I have 3 different backups saved and they are all corrupted according to 3CX... how is this even possible?? I can't extract the zip's manually either, this is a disaster!

This is the batch file I have used to make the backups:

@echo off
echo Launching 3CX backup system…
set hr=%time:~0,2%
if "%hr:~0,1%" equ " " set hr=0%hr:~1,1%
3CXBackup.exe backup "C:\# Backups\3CX\3CXBackup_%date:~0,4%%date:~5,2%%date:~8,2%_%hr%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%.zip" /callrecordings /voicemails /voiceprompts /callhist /exit

The backups are at saved locally first and are then copied to a NAS.

Is there something wrong with the way I have been doing backups?
Is there any way I can fix this or am I screwed?

/ are not valid characters in filenames. Although perhaps your language settings are using something different.
do an echo on

%date:~0,4%%date:~5,2%%date:~8,2%_%hr%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%

Try this as a start. It works for me.

REM @echo off

REM Keep 10 days of backups on Local.
cd\
cd "C:\3cxBackup\"
forfiles.exe /p C:\3cxbackup /s /m *.zip /d -10 /c "cmd /c del @path"

set today=%date:~-4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
set timed=%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%

cd "C:\Program Files\3CX PhoneSystem\Bin\"
3CXBackup.exe backup C:\3CXBackup\3CX.%today%%timed%.zip /callrecordings /voicemails /voiceprompts /callhist /firmware /exit

REM Now copy this to Backup Device or USB

SET today=
SET timed=
exit

Thanks!

I've managed to find another older backup which worked, so thankfully I no longer need to jump from the roof tonight (pheeeew!!)

The strange thing is I have not changed anything with the backup procedure and it has worked flawlessly before, but the last three backups has for some reason become corrupted. I need to investigate this further when I have evertything up and running again.
