Okay, will give this a try..
Thanks!

I must have misunderstood this.. I thought the script running in the second instance was going to be all part and parcel of hitting the script button in the main instance.

Anyway, going to run this script again with the open throw away clone now and see how that goes.

Tried this and had to cancel the run. It seems I'm still unable to use XY while it is running and that I will need to run it in the throw away clone or fresh instance in order to use XY again?
Is there something further that I should configure?

1st RUN.. first test backup.jpg 2nd RUN second test sync.jpg So that worked well and will suffice for my daily sync button, thanks! I had this written out for my bi-weekly button prior to you responding and now I'm not sure how to modify the script to include this and to include the same text file(s...

So after several hours now of running the initial copy/backup/source to target/one-way sync, it gives me the target folder named on my backup drive just as I had asked for with the date included at the end. Now again, the second time around, I run the same script and what I expected to be a sync onl...

// creates a new target folder every new day: That's when I stopped reading further. Its probably the way I translate English to English. That example you sent me I'm already using successfully in another back up job where I need a new dated backup copy everyday and I got it on the forum somewhere,...

Okay, I experimented already with some of that but had no success yet and I literally took a month off work just to figure out some of the XY settings, so its back burner for now I guess until more time permits.
Thanks for getting back.

Is there anything I can add to this script that will add the date and time of sync at the end of the name of the top level folder each time a sync occurs?

Okay, will look into that.

Thanks!

Works Perfect!. I think I see what I did wrong and corrected that already and changed the copy item to 1 So every separate line for each source and target can have its own set of parameters. Did a few test runs and this is working great so far. Its just the group of 20tb hard drives that slows thing...

Here is what I have... sync "C:\SCANSNAP", "S:\SCANSNAP(test)", 7:="-\Note20\Music\" | "-\Note20\Audiobooks\"; sync "R:\MY DOCUMENTS", "S:\MY DOCUMENTS(test)", 0, 0, 4, "k"; I still get the name collision dialogue box but everythi...

I want to hit the user button only once and I don't want to see this screen each time... by pass completely the overwrite if newer.jpg What should I do in my script so that it just automatically selects OK for "Overwrite if newer" on name collisions and auto selects "Do this also for ...

Will look into that but yeah, scripting and coding is way over my head, so if I go that route, I will definitely need assistance with it. Its the ability to hit a user button right in my toolbar that draws me to want to use XY instead. Perhaps if I map out my backup/sync plan, someone can assist me ...

Possibility, but will try another time. Time constraints at the moment and had to default to what is working for me right now.
Thanks for getting back.

Unfortunately time remaining of almost 5 hours to complete is not gonna work for me and had to hit cancel. I'm still able to work with files in XY, even open documents, with ViceVersa running in the background and even with full backups. I do like some of XY's options too but for now I will just use...
