move c  Sourcefoldernam     e  destinationFolder     This did not work for me for some reason  But when I tried using quotation marks  it suddenly worked   move  c  Sourcefoldernam       e  destinationFolder    I think its because my directory had spaces in one of the folders  So if it doesn t work for you  try with quotation marks

You can try this    backup  move C  FilesToBeBackedUp     E  BackupPlace   timeout 36000  goto backup  If that doesn t work try to replace  timeout  with sleep  Ik this post is over a year old  just helping anyone with the same problem

This is exactly how it worked for me  For some reason the above code failed    This one runs a check every 3 minutes for any files in there and auto moves it to the destination folder  If you need to be prompted for conflicts then change the  y to  -y   backup move  y  D  Dropbox Dropbox Camera Uploads       D  Archive Camera Uploads   timeout 360 goto backup
