Set up Backing up Candidate Self-Service

Follow these steps to set up the Candidate Self-Service daily backup:

1. Make sure that the SharePoint server has network access to the SQL Server Backup folder (Everyone: Read/Write) to store the Candidate Self-Service backups along with the database backups.
2. Save the following script to the Backup folder of AD-SQL Server. The folder path must be defined in the script. 

   $backupFolder = "\\contoso-sql\BACKUP\"  $temppath     = "C:\Temp\Temp\" $currentTime  = Get-Date -format "HH:mm:ss"    Write-Host "Start: $currentTime" -foregroundcolor "Green"   asnp *sh* $sites=Get-Website if (!(Test-Path $backupFolder)){mkdir $backupFolder > $null} foreach ($site in $sites){        if (Test-Path ($site.physicalPath.ToString()+"\Lanteria.ApplicantSelfService.WebApi.exe")){             $sourceFolder = $site.physicalPath.ToString()                        $destinationArchive = $backupFolder+$site.Name.ToString()+".zip"             New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $temppath             Get-ChildItem -Path $sourceFolder | Copy-Item -Destination $temppath -Recurse             Compress-Archive -Path (Get-ChildItem -Path $temppath).FullName -DestinationPath $destinationArchive -Force             Remove-Item -Path $temppath -Force -Recurse                        start-sleep -s 5               }        if (Test-Path ($site.physicalPath.ToString()+"\Lanteria.ApplicantSelfService.App.exe")){               $sourceFolder = $site.physicalPath.ToString()                      $destinationArchive = $backupFolder+$site.Name.ToString()+".zip"             New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $temppath             Get-ChildItem -Path $sourceFolder | Copy-Item -Destination $temppath -Recurse             Compress-Archive -Path (Get-ChildItem -Path $temppath).FullName -DestinationPath $destinationArchive -Force             Remove-Item -Path $temppath -Force -Recurse             start-sleep -s 5            } }

3. Next, in the Task Scheduler, create a task and name it CaSS Backup. 
4. On the General tab, select the Run whether user is logged on or not option.
5. Select the Run with highest privileges check box.
6. On the Triggers tab, click New and create a Daily trigger. Set the recurrence to every 1 day, specify the date and time for the task to be started and select the Enabled check box. 
7. On the Actions tab, click Edit for Start a program and specify the following path to the PowerShell script: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
   
   Note

   The script is in the network folder of the AS+SQL server.
   
8. Click OK to save the task.
