Create a task to move a Scheduled backup

I am trying have CRD backup every day locally, then once a week copy the most recent backup folder to the network (which will be backed up on tape).

All the local backups go to My DocumentsCRD Backup

I have CRD set to backup locally which works fine, but when I create a task to move the most recent (today's) backup, I get an error saying it cannot find the folder specified.

Since the backup stores all of the files into a datetime folder, I have the following entered in the task as the "Select Folder" -
My DocumentsCRD Backup< CurrentDate;yyyyMMdd>*

I don't think this can be done using a yyyyMMddHHmm parameter in the current date constant since the backup will complete at a different time every day, and the task will not be running at that same time.

Any ideas about how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Why not backup directly to your network folder?

Re: Create a task to move a Scheduled backup

Each backup is around 1Gb in size, so its just a matter of saving drive space.

How much stuff is in your the CRDOutput folder?
Go to Options-Housekeeping-Folder Housekeeping and set it to delete everything in that folder that is older than a day. Your backup will become much much smaller

From what I can see only the Cache folder is saved when the system is backed up, but I did have a few hundred megs of files in the output folder that wansn't needed.

Thanks David!
