How can I keep multiple versions of source files?
It's easy, you can put a variable, e.g. %DATA%, to Task Folder:
Source Folder: c:\source
Target Folder: d:\target\%DATE%
Beyond Sync will create new task folder when you run the task in different day.
Predefined variables:
Variable Name |
Description |
%DATE% |
Current date, for example: 20101209 |
%TIME% |
Current time, for example: 121023 |
%DATETIME% |
Current date time, for example: 20101209121023 |
%YEAR2% |
Two digits year. For example: 07, 08 |
%YEAR4% |
Four digits year. For example: 2007, 2008 |
%MONTH% |
Use one digit for month when it less than 10 |
%MONTH2% |
Always use two digits for month. For example: 01, 02, 10, 12 |
%DAY% |
Use one digit for day when it less than 10 |
%DAY2% |
Always use two digits for day. For example: 01, 02, 10 |
%HOUR% |

%HOUR2% |
Always use two digits. For example: 01, 02 |
%MINUTE% |
Use one digit for minute when it less then 10 |
%MINUTE2% |

%SECOND% |
Use one digit for second when it less than 10 |

Always use two digits for second. For example: 01, 02, 10 |
You can also specify any environment variable in Task Folder or Log File paths. For example:
Source Folder: c:\source
Target Folder: d:\target\%username%
When you start the sync, Beyond Sync will replace %username% by current user name. To find out all environment variables, please open DOS prompt window, type "set" command and press enter. If you want to add an environment variable yourself, please right click on "My Computer", choose "Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables".
