Q: Backup 2 Files but Only Copy 1 to Destination.

I need to set up a job that

1. moves 2 files of different extensions off of a source
2. Backup both files
3. Only send 1 file to the destination.

The 2 files from the source will be like ‘Filename.rec’ and ‘Filename.snd’. I want both backed up, but only want ‘Filename.snd’ to be sent to the destination. Is that possible?

A: Yes that is possible using some Pascal Script.

First you need to add a filename include filter to only filter the files you want (*.snd and *.rec files):

Add two destinations. Really important:

1. First destination (ID1) must be your Backup destination
2. Second destination (ID2) must the output destination.

Begin
  psExitCode:= 1;
  // ... add your code here
  If SameText(psDestinationID, 'ID2') then
    If Not SameText(ExtractFileExt(psFilename), '.snd') then
      psExitCode := -1;
End.
