Using sync folders on schedule to mirror drives...

Post by GUIguy »

I have a drive that I want to mirror to another drive. I've been using "FreeFileSync" but that's just one more piece of software. I think XY can do this for me using Sync Folders.

How can I set this up to work on a schedule? I was thinking about something in task scheduler (win 10), but don't know how to set it up in order to get it scheduled.

Any help out there?

I didn't know that. :shock:
:appl:

Invalid source path?:

Code: Select all

"D:\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::sync "E:\Ca\","E:\Trr",1,2,1,n;"
Works fine:

Code: Select all

"D:\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::#1420;"

Undoubled double quotes within double quotes cannot work. Try to think like a parser. One solution: use single quotes within double quotes.
