Hi.

Is it possible if I want to backup filename.xml as a filename_SUFFIX.xml: How should I rewrite the command then?

Thanks.

Hi'
You were probably looking for the copyas command.

With your example:

As aimy explicitely asked for backup, he maybe want to use functionality of it, like not to change attributes as date/time of the file?

Thanks all.

Actually as the name implies, I want to backup only if there is need to.

Well anyway actually in my case, it will be always a replacement. So, both copyas and copyitem will suit my needs I think, thanks.

But how do I set it to overwrite the existing file if I using the copyitem command, anyone?

Thank you.

One more thing, is that possible for the S13018 suffix part, it derived automatically from the current computer name for example?
How do I'm gonna achieve that?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

 copyitem "D:\My Programs\filename.xml","D:\SugarSync\Programs\Aimy\filename_<computer_id>.xml";

How do I'm gonna achieve that?

Thank you.

Use %computername% for computername.

If you could change naming to e.g. "D:\SugarSync\Programs\Aimy\%computername%\filename.xml" use the same filename as the origin, you could use Backupto. Advantages:
- you have flags to pre-define reaction On Collision
- dates&times of the file were kept as original
