Hi everyone...
I am trying to write an AppleScript to periodically back up several active folders (e.g. MAIL, AddressBook, etc) to a 512 MB flash drive.
I have included the "with replacing" instruction, at the end of the "select folder" line, which passes Syntax.
At the end of the "copy" line, Syntax does NOT accept it.
When I run the script, it runs through, but I get "AppleScript Error - Finder error. An item with the same name already exists in destination".
I know !
That is why I added "with replacing".......
thanks
Robert
