Good morning,
I'm trying to develop a simple archive procedure for our editors, and
I've run into a little snag.
Our editors work on their projects locally. We'd like them to archive
their files to the server nightly for backup purposes. I am going to
use robocopy and the /m switch to copy only changed files. It will be
a long process the first night, but manageable after that.
I want to script the operation as much as possible for ease of use.
The editors create job directories on their stations like
M12345_jobName_shortDescription. I don't want them to have to create
this target directory on the destination drive. I'd like to set it up
so if they right click on the job folder, they'll have an "archive"
selection. Clicking this will create the directory in a predefined
destination, and invoke robocopy /m. I played around with the GUI,
and it's very good, but I'd like to make it even easier.
Can I somehow grab the source directory name as a variable, and use it
to create a directory on the destination drive?
Thanks,
Eric Brouwer
