Not surprisingly, I'm finding that daily backups of the 'important' drives is gobbling space almost as quickly as I can empty it to accept new backups. Sooooo, I did a batch file to REMIND myself every Wednesday afternoon that I needed to do my 'laundry'. The thing is, I leave x2 running perpetually. All I want is for the batch file to surface the running instance (or on the every Blue Moon basis, START x2 ... which always goes to my regular dump box of files location), make two panes if there is only one, then load in two folders. Oddly enough, BOTH are backup folders. I can then sort into modified order and delete anything older than eight days. I THOUGHT this would work ...
Code: Select all
E:\apps\Utilities\xplorer2\xplorer2_64.exe /F:0 /T /2 U:\_Source_DriveSnapshots_Quincy Y:\_Source_DriveSnapshots_Quincy
Nope. All I get is the U drive. One pane. With U's backup folder. If I have two panes, I get two copies of U. Tried removing each parameter above and still got the same. Y's never coming up automatically. I thought it might be the underscores in the folder names. Nope. Now, it doesn't take but a second to flip the second pane (if I have it) to Y and then to the backup folder and do the same thing.
But it is irksome that I can't get my admittedly ancient copy of x2 to open the two panes as I desire.
Solutions Nikos et al? Thanks in advance, GM
