texte = I am attempting to make a backup copy of a database file using the [MOVEFILE] tag to move, rename and delete the existing .db file before it is replaced with an updated version. If I use a static name the process works correctly, if I use a tag it doesn't.This way works! [MOVEFILE from=../folder1/database.db&to=../folder2/backup.db]This way doesn't? [MOVEFILE from=../folder1/database.db&to=../folder2/[DATE]-[TIME].db]I need a different name for each backup that allows for quick identification, the [DATE]-[TIME].db would be great if it will work. I am however, open to other suggestions for renaming the files. All this is being attempted on a Macintosh server using WebCatalog 3.0.8.Thanks, Alan Jackson ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
