Topic: Easy backup - Direct link to "Backup to desktop"??

[TV2]

Hi,

I'm using 5.5 and was wondering if anyone could help me with the following.

Concerning the "Back or Restore" function on the web admin page of the SME server.

Is it in any way possible to identify the direct URL link to the backup function "Backup to desktop"???

Does anyone know??

The purpose is to let some other server automatically follow that link every night and inculde the file generated in it´s own backup procedure.

Right know I have to do it manually...

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, that's 5.0. 5.5 should probably be similar. Just open the Backup link in a new window, and view the source for the parameters to the Backup to Desktop option if you want to make sure.
