Create a new target folder for each day?

[bjornhi]

Hello!

I've previously used backup software that where able to create a new target folder for each day like this:

"2010-06-05 My Documents"
"2010-06-06 My Documents"
"2010-06-07 My Documents"

The backup software will always keep X copies and delete and create target folders automatically.

Can ViceVersa do this? Or how can I keep X copies of the source folder?

Kind regards

Hello,

yes, that can be done using folder variables, for instance, x:\target<date>\
See help file -> folder variables for more info,

thanks

Thanks for a quick reply!

Is it possible for ViceVersa to remove old folders as well to keep the level at for example the 5 latest backups?

Kind regards

Hello

I think it's best to setup rotating backups like this:

x:\target-<dayofweek>\

<dayofweek> = One digit day of the week. 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ..., 7 = Saturday

So instead of having to copy all files again to a new folder each time, VV will just re-write the files that have changed since last time in the same folder. You'll have 7 rotating target folders with this setup, one per day of week.
