The script was tested on the 19.11.2025 to work with BIMCloud 2025.3.
Unfortunately BIMCloud Basic has no backup option included.
That is why I wrote my own script, based on the BimCloud v24 backup script from Graphisoft. (http://dl.graphisoft.com/ftp/techsupport/documentation/BIMcloud_Backup_Guide/v24PcServerAndManagerBkUp.zip)
Mine is IMHO be a little bit more polished and smarter.
The script is just a single backup.bat batch file.
What is basically does is shutting down the manager and server, then robocopy all files to the backup folder and then start your services again.
This has nothing to do with my script, but if you are using BIMCloud basic, do NOT set a Backup destination path during the installation of BimCloud!
Please carefully read the comments in the script. Every line that starts with "REM" is a comment and not code.
Adjust the paths and services accordingly.
To automatically start this script with Windows task scheduler, you checkout BIMBackup.xml from this repository. It should offer you a good template.
Like the original script vom ArchiCAD, this script only creates a single backup state.
If you want multiple backup days/states, you should consider some kind of file versioning or snapshots of your backup destination.
Remember to always test the script and make sure it really works!
