With Ventoy, you will not need to format the disk over and over again you just need to copy the ISO file to the USB drive and boot it. You will also be able to copy many ISO files at a time, and Ventoy will provide you with a boot menu from which to select them. How do you upgrade a BackupAssist installation? Well, up until now, the answer has been: manually.īut one of our Aussie helpdesk team, Aaron, has done a great job in writing a VB script that will download the latest BackupAssist installation to a temp directory, uninstall the old version and install the new version – thereby performing an automated upgrade. We’ve tested this on a variety of machines – SBS 2003, Vista, XP, Server 2008, and SBS 2008 – and it has worked for us. Now it’s time to turn it over to the community and get some feedback on this. To run the script – save the text below to a vbs file – say BAUpgrader.vbs – and then run it from the command prompt: Make sure you’re running the command prompt as the Administrator user, with elevated rights if you have UAC turned on. If you have any feedback, please post a comment below. We have not yet tested it with management software like Kaseya – but if you’d like to give it a go (in a non-production environment!) please feel free.Īlso note that this is a BETA script, so the usual disclaimers apply. BEGIN SCRIPT BELOW – FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS APART FROM SERVER CORE AND HYPER-V SERVER. Set objADOStream = CreateObject(“ADODB.Stream”) “Downloading the latest version of BackupAssist…” & VbCrLf & VbCrLf Set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject(“MSXML2.XMLHTTP”) StrHDLocation = “c:\temp\BackupAssistV5.msi” Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”) Note: this script is subject the same EULA as BackupAssist.
