'Auto naming' a .zip file when using the Compression option
Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2025 7:40 pm
Syncovery 11.7.3
so I have two folders on my C: Drive that I want to use Syncovery to 'zip' to a single file (many files per archive) via the 'Compression' option and then copy to a File Share.
I'd like to insert Today's date as a prefix into the .zip filename, such that it is named in this format :
2025-08-21 - Data23
I thought I could use the 'Use Profile name as Archive File Name' option and then add the Variables :
$YEAR-$MONTHNUM-$MONTHDAY to the Profile Name itself, so that the Profile is called '$YEAR-$MONTHNUM-$MONTHDAY - Data23'
but Syncovery treats the Variables as ''pure text' and creates a.zip file named :
'$YEAR-$MONTHNUM-$MONTHDAY - Data23'
when I wanted
'2025-08-21 - Data23'
any assistance would be great
