I created a small script to use with task manger for automatic backup. It works great with Windows XP, but it will not work with Vista.

I assume its just some setting I've missed. Does anyone know how to this work?

Here is the script:
load "C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount" "G:\MyBackup"
expand all
select left.newer.files left.orphan.files
copy left->right

Hello,

What kind of error message are you receiving? Is it a permissions issue?

Try the copy using Windows' My Computer or Explorer from C:\documents and settings\myaccount to g:\mybackup


Also, BC2.5+ are compatible with Windows Vista. Are you using the newest version of BC2 (2.5.3) or BC3 (3.0.15) ?

After you get your script working, you may also be interested in the Sync:Update Left->Right command.

Try changing the line:

load "C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount" "G:\MyBackup"

to

load "%USERPROFILE%" "G:\MyBackup"

to take into account path differences between XP and Vista.

Cheers,
