Now to be able to tell Reflector the drive to backup to from the command line.
You can tell it the TASK to start from the command line. The task can contain whatever drive.
My wrapper program can pick out any volume label I tell it to look for, including a wild card at the end of the volume name. I have my customers using revolving flash drives to defeat ransomware. The are all labeled the same. If I could label them "BACKUP1", "BACKUP2", etc. and be able to feed what drive they were to Reflector, it would be really cool.
I suppose I could create a task and clone it as many times as there are flash drives and change the label on each, but I really don't like having to chase after the same value in two locations.
How so when the label would vary from flash drive to flash drive? Is there a way to use a wild card in the label? Be nice if I could tell Reflector what the %DISKLABEL was from the command line.

An idea: I would use the day of the week in trhe label of every drive. The I would use %FORMATDATETIME with the %DISKLABEL parameter and the alternative datetime format dddd
