How to Copy QVDs from Location A to B using Script

[rduvall33009]

Good Morning/Afternoon,

I'm looking to make a copy of QVDs made and placed in one location and then to later move to another.  Reason I want to do this is as you know when creating QVDs the prior set is thrown out.  So before making the new QVDs that will be stored in '..\QVD' by a QVD Generator I want to move the old set to a separate location '..\QVD_Prior'. 

Any assistance will be much appreciated.  I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Rather than copy from one location to another location, why can't you store the same QVD in two different location in one go ?

DIRECTORY;

t: load rand() AutoGenerate 100;

store t into t.qvd (qvd);

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C copy t.qvd t1.qvd;

Say I run the generator, data model and visualization.  Then I find that the QVDs made in this process have data and/or errors.  I would want the QVDs from the time before.  So before making new I would want to move them.  For what you suggest I would have two sets of QVDs with errors.

Good Morning/Afternoon Massimo,

Thank you for your fast response.  In your answer is 't' the filepath?  Such that:

DIRECTORY;

{location A with filename}: load rand() AutoGenerate 100;

store {location A with filename} into {location B with filename}.qvd (qvd);

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C copy {location A with filename}.qvd {location B with filename}1.qvd;

[maxgro · Accepted solution]

t.qvd is the name of the file

if you want to move qvd file(s) from one folder to another you can use *.qvd; in the example below I have the .QVW document in one folder and 2 subfolder QVD and QVD_OLD

DIRECTORY;

t: load rand() AutoGenerate 100;

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C    move /Y      .\QVD\*.qvd     .\QVD_OLD ;

store t into .\QVD\t.qvd (qvd);

the bold is the dos command, open a dos prompt and  type

help move to get option for move

Many thanks.  I was able to get that to work in a round about way.
