Backup Locations
Is it possible to set True Image 2015 to automatically do the following on a schedule:
Backup to a network drive. If that network drive is not available at the moment backup instead to an external USB drive. If the USB drive is also not available at the moment, then cancel the backup until the next scheduled time. In other words, try the network drive first. If that fails try the USB drive. If that fails, quit.
Can this be done in TI2015?
Thanks.
Peter

There are "Settings/custom/extensions", to give the possibility of before/after commands. for example batch files. If these commands fail (possibly with a special return code... I don't know), then a backup is not running.
Might that be a possibility for you?
I haven't tried it myself yet. The description is very very bad!
PS
for example, rename of a file (in this volume) in the same name.
If this is not possible, then this volume is missing

Thanks for the reply.
I thought about using TI's before/after commands with a batch file to help accomplish this. Creating a batch file that checks whether the network drive and the USB drive are available is easy but there doesn’t seem to be a way to get that information back into TI2015 so it can act accordingly.
With previous versions of TI it was possible to execute a backup from the Windows command line (or from a batch file) but so far I can’t find any support for that in TI2015.

Yes... from the description, I can understand that this works via the return code from the batch file. But I don't know how I set the RC.
Maybe you can get an answer in the WINDOWS 10 Forum. There is "AReiland". Who is good at such things.

I found this for setting a RC:
Batch file for Copying File to a Folder
cmd "C:\manageengine"
copy "C:\samplefile.txt" "C:\manageengine"
exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%

I'm sorry, maybe that was a mistake.
