"""
This script performes the backup of all private and checked out files in all
local clearcase views for windows.

Using with clearcase, is common to have on some clearcase server the vobs
and streams, and on own workstation a client clearcase with some local views.


Working on these views, happens very often that at end of working day some files
remain private or checked out. Supposing that the server clearcase is well-backed
up, these files are not safe.

Running this script properly, for example at user log-out or at 2:0 a.m. or other
policy, also local private and checked out files are copied in a secure place.

All error during backup will sent to administrator with an e-mail.


To configure this script, please edit:
1. the function BuildDestinationPath();
2. the methods BackUp.__NotifyByEmail(), BackUp.__SkipRubish().


Note. This script was test on windows 2k and xp.
