I have Toucan on a USB drive (label USB1TB), and a working backup job for the My Documents folder.
I want to make the job flexible using variables so it's not dependant on the PC its used on and other peripherals etc.
When target drive is: F:\Backups\LaptopMyDocs the job works
I changed this to: @volume@\Backups\LaptopMyDocs and hit Preview.
The displayed drive changes to: USB1TB\Backups\LaptopMyDocs, but on Preview all files and folders are blue (= will be copied) which is incorrect - they are already on the drive.
If I run the job all copies fail with "(error3: the system cannot find the path specified)"
I inserted a colon: @volume@:\Backups\LaptopMyDocs. This also fails,- but does not even find the drive.
Can someone explain what i'm missing please?
Thanks!
Forgot to mention - replacing the source folder with @docs@ works perfectly.
Using @drive@ instead of @volume@ works like a charm.
But while I have your attention :)...
Can someone help me with regex please?
I want to be able to extract the Machine and user name from a 'My Documents' folder string.
ie If source folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\Joe User\My Documents (on SharedPC)
I'd like the Destination to be parsed as
@drive@\SharedPC\Joe User\
I know there's a link in the help facility - but it doesn't do anything when I click it... and I don't know anything about RegEx
Thanks!
