how can backupto create target folders?
I realized backupto cannot create nonexisting folders, unlike copyto/moveto.

The destination you have selected does not exist:
D:\nodir\
Do you want to create it now?

OK Cancel

Er, yes. That's what I meant. You click OK and the thing is created. The same with copyto/moveto.

Ah this one. Yes, SkipPromptToCreate is not supported in backupto. Maybe later.SammaySarkar wrote:nope. copyto/moveto can SkipPromptToCreate. ::copytoto "D:\nodirtoo\", <curitem>,, 2;
