You could have put the code into the same batch file. Either have robocopy copy off the multiple metadata.db backups when it runs, or you can just change the locations of the metadata.db.N source and destination files to c:\some\place\else\metadata.db.N.
I'm glad it works for you, and thanks for posting your final setup - it may help others.[/QUOTE]
I think it would make more sense if it was in one file. So, should it look like this?
@echo off
REM metafile copy documents
Z:
cd\Debby\My Documents\Calibrelibrary\Debs
if exist metadata.db.6 del metadata.db.6
if exist metadata.db.5 ren metadata.db.5 metadata.db.6
if exist metadata.db.4 ren metadata.db.4 metadata.db.5
if exist metadata.db.3 ren metadata.db.3 metadata.db.4
if exist metadata.db.2 ren metadata.db.2 metadata.db.3
if exist metadata.db.1 ren metadata.db.1 metadata.db.2
if exist metadata.db copy metadata.db metadata.db.1
move metadata.db.* "Z:\Debby\My Documents\Calibre Saved Libraries\Metafile BU
robocopy "Z:\Debby\My Documents\Calibrelibrary\Debs" "Z:\Debby\My Documents\Calibre Saved Libraries\BatchFile BU" /s /purge /xo /r:1 /w:1
Sorry - I don't understand the syntax
c:\some\place\else\metadata.db.N.
