robocopy
I am using Robocopy for backing up my project directories to an external disk, and it works like a charm.
Except for one little issue: sometimes, I wish I could override the destination directory which I specify in my Robocopy Job file (myproject.rcj) to send the files somewhere else.
So if I have this in my myprojects.rcj
:
:: Robocopy Job MYPROJECT.RCJ
:: Source Directory :
/SD:d:\MyProject :: Source Directory.
:: Destination Directory :
/DD:f:\MyDefaultDestination :: Destination Directory.
is there any way I can instruct Robocopy to use a different destination when executing it using a job?
So I execute Robocopy like this:
robocopy /job:myproject.rcj
and I wish I could override the default destination directory by using:
robocopy /job:myproject.rcj /DD:X:\OtherDestination
but that doesn't seem to work.....
ERROR : Invalid Parameter #2 : "/DD:X:\OtherDestination"
Any ideas??
