We need some help with running a script to create shadow copies of open or locked files using vshadow.exe. The shadow copies will then be used to rsync (using DeltaCopy or grsync) to a backup location, before being destroyed. The backup is from a Windows 7 machine to a Linux NAS box. We already have a first attempt at the script so we just need some help to make it work properly. I think we are OK with the rsync syntax but we *may* need some help with that - not sure yet. We also *may* need a way to monitor real-time files for changes using FileSystemWatcher Class or [login to view URL] [login to view URL] reads: Rem Create the shadow copy vshadow -script=[login to view URL] -exec=[login to view URL] c:\Users\User\Target and [login to view URL] reads: Rem mount / unmount the shadow copy and execute rsync REM read the shadow volume variables call [login to view URL] REM define the temporary drive letter dosdev V: %SHADOW_DEVICE_1% REM rsync the shadow device [insert rsync syntax here] REM delete the temporary drive letter dosdev -r -d V: When I run [login to view URL] as administrator I get an error message reading: (Option: Generate SETVAR script '[login to view URL]') (Option: Execute binary/script after shadow creation '[login to view URL]') ERROR: the parameter '[login to view URL]' must be an existing file! - Note: the -exec command cannot have parameters!
