Hi All,

I'm looking to write a script to backup all files and folders from one drive to another, except the Recycle Bin and System Volume Information folders.

It appears the syntax would be:

Code: Select all

backupto [destination], [source], 1,1,,,,,

If that's the case, how do I get it to skip just those two special system folders? I'm guessing there's a simple way to do it, but haven't been able to find it, yet.

Thanks!

Use e.g.:

Code: Select all

formatlist(listfolder("E:\", , 2), "f", , "!$RECYCLE.BIN|System Volume Information", "f");

For the [source] part of the backupto script command (and adapt the "E:\")
