Hello -  At this time the application has no CLI - there isn't a way to run it from the command line. (Well, you CAN, but it would just launch the UI, wouldn't automate anything.) This may be a feature in the future, but at this time I cannot say.  Thanks- Mike &#xD;

For command-line automation, you might need to script the database exports or use Spiras API in combination with your own scripts. This approach allows you to backup each project individually, which is ideal for separate customer projects.  You can  continue to site  here for more details and examples shared by the community on automating project backups. </description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:25:06 -0500</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-02-26T15:25:06-05:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/best-practices/1357.aspx#reply7558</link></item></channel></rss>
