Use %DAYODDEVEN% in drive name

Post by mclemens »

Is it possible to use the DAYODDEVEN variable in a drive name when backing up to a drive on another PC?

I want to use something like:

\\nuc002\3tb%DAYODDEVEN%\E520 Sync Back\Documents\

Should translate to \\nuc002\3TBO if it's an odd day or \\nuc002\3TBE if it's an even day but it says network path not found when I try it.

I know I can place folders called O and E on a single drive and alternate based on odd and even days but I really want to alternate between 2 drives.

Never mind, it does work.

I thought I had shared both of the drives (TB3O and TB3E) on the destination PC but I found that I had only shared the drive for odd days (TB3O). I shared the drive for even days (TB4E) and now it works just fine.
