Running a profile from the VVEngine using a script/batch/etc

[Logdan]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a script or something that will execute a profile that is loaded into a user's VVEngine. The reason I need it to be executed from the VVEngine is that the engine runs as a service, which lets the profile use the VSS. Whereas if the user does it (in Vista) they do not have elevated rights.

Thanks

Hello

There's an undocumented program called VVConsole.exe. It's in the VVengine installation folder (under the serv folder).
Start it and type help for a list of available commands.

You can run commands automatically, separating them with |
for instance:

vvconsole.exe "-c:run <profile name>|q"

There are some additional command flags that can be used, let me know if interested.

thanks

Hello again,

I've had a lot of success using the command above and other commands offered via the VVConsole.exe program. However, in order to use it, the person running it needs to have Administrative rights on the computer. Conversely, they don’t need Administrative rights to go into the VVEngine browser and run profiles from there.

Is there something I can execute that will just have the VVEngine start all loaded profiles without requiring the user to have Administrative rights? I’d rather not have people go into the browser view, as they will start changing stuff (like thinking they will get “awesome backups” by having VV run 24/7). I just want to give them a shortcut or a script they can run that will initiate the backup.

Thanks.
