Naming convention

[lucky81]

Hi team,


Based on this article, I should be able to use variables in the profile name and then use it as a ZIP file name (see my screenshot attached)? Am I correct?

The reason why I am doing this is I need to avoid "Put current time stamp in the ZIP file name" option as it creates spaces:

Code: Select all

Backup 9316.536870913.9316-2015-05-19 15.51.45.zip

I can not have spaces in the file name. I need something like:

Code: Select all

ProfileName_2015-05-19_155145.zip

Can this be automated in Syncovery in any way?

Hello,
you cannot use variables in profile names.

Unfortunately it's not possible to get the names you need. The only solution would be running a separate script or tool when Syncovery is finished. You can invoke it via Job->Execute before/after.

Generally speaking, in the IT world, it is a very bad idea to use filenames/directories with spaces in them. Try to avoid it at all cost.
I am guessing it should be easy to implement at least:

Code: Select all

Backup_9316.536870913.9316-2015-05-19_15.51.45.zip

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will deal with it somehow.

I was able to achieve this by creating ReplaceSpacesWithUnderscoresOfZipFiles.bat file in my Syncovery folder:

Code: Select all

@Echo off
@cd /d "%*"
forfiles /m *.zip /C "cmd /e:on /v:on /c set \"Phile=@file\" & if @ISDIR==FALSE ren @file !Phile: =_!"


And in my "Profile Settings" > "Job" > "Execute command or script before / after ..." >
ReplaceSpacesWithUnderscoresOfZipFiles.bat $RIGHT
