You can use Beyond Compare's script processor to perform certain tasks, such as synchronizing folders, without interaction. For example, to automate a backup of "C:\My Folder", enter the following script commands into Notepad:
load "C:\My Folder" "C:\My Backups"
expand all
select left.newer.files left.orphan.files
copy left->right
Save this text file as "C:\My Scripts\Sync.txt".
To run a Beyond Compare script at any desired time:
1.In Windows Task Scheduler, pick Action > Create Basic Task to get a wizard.
2.In Action, pick Start a program.
3.In Program/script, pick the Beyond Compare 5 executable.
4.In Add arguments, add a reference to your script file:
@Sync.txt
5.In Start in, pick the script folder:
C:\My Scripts
We recommend including a log command in your script. If you have trouble with your script, check out the Scheduled Tasks error log: "SchedLgU.txt" in your Windows folder.
