This article describes a pair of scripts I have written that implement the same Perforce server backup procedure. One (PerforceBackupProcedureLibrary.bat) is intended for use with Microsoft Windows. The other (PerforceBackupProcedureLibrary) is intended for use with Unix based systems (including Mac OS X). These scripts perform the essential steps needed to backup a Perforce server. They save their output in XML format which can be easily consumed by other programs.

XSLT and CSS style sheets are provided for displaying the backup procedure results as HTML. A PowerShell script is provided provided for generating an RSS feed of the backup procedure results on Microsoft Windows systems. Unix users can use the bash script for doing the same thing. Both of these scripts use an XSLT style sheet when generating the RSS feed.

These scripts are distributed under the MIT license.
