I wonder if Reflector is capable of creating directory for daily backup based on date

Hi,

I wonder if Reflector is capable of creating directory for daily backup based on date. I backup sveral directories do OneDrive\backup directory. So I end up with having six directories a day with the date in the name but I have to manually create new directories where I sort the backup directories to.

You can use the parameter %FNDATENOTIME in the destination.

That you. :OK
I think this is exactly what I've been looking for.

So shall I extend the Destination to:
C:\Users\Lenovo\OneDrive\backups\backups\%FNDATENOTIME ?

I'm not able to add the %FNDATENOTIME at the end of the path though...

You need to add a manual destination.

I managed to find this thread. :-D

I wonder if you would be more specific regarding the manual destination because that indeed doesn't work:
"Warning: The folder D:\Backups\%FNDATENOTIME doesn't seem to exist."

It's just that, a warning. It will work.
