| Hi AS people,
I have a script that backs-up my USB memory stick each time it is inserted into my computer. It works as an attachment to the Volumes folder. Unfortunately I have more than one memory stick as I have one for each company I work with. I would like to change the script so that it can copy the data from several sticks to different folders on my backup hard drive. When I define the script with a single property, it works, however, if I define more than one memory stick, The script can only find those that are connected and the script fails. I currently have multiple individual scripts for each stick, but I would prefer to have the script identify which stick has been inserted and back it up to the right folder. Can you help me?
property backup_items : alias "USBKEYNAME:" on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items my trigger_backup() end adding folder items to
on trigger_backup() tell application "Finder" set destination_foldername to folder "Path to my backup folder" duplicate every file in backup_items to destination_foldername with replacing end tell end trigger_backup
