The folder given in the cvs export command -d parameter will be created by cvs below the *current* directory after which cvs will change dir to this folder and get the files. Obviously you cannot create a folder named C:/backupWeb below whatever folder you are in when you invoke the cvs command, so it fails. It will also fail if you try this: -d Web/App because cvs does not understand how to create multiple folders. You are stuck with the single folder below your current location. So why not like this batch file then: C: cd \ set CVSROOT=:ntserver:Atlantis026:D:/WebApp cvs export -D 10/10/2002 -d backupWeb work /Bo -----Original Message----- From: RickyC [mailto:rcastrignano at hotmail.com] Sent: den 11 oktober 2002 16:03 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Problems with export -d options Hi, I need to backup my web application from a cvsNT server ( Atlantis026 ) to another PC. Since I use this syntax from a cvs client: C:>cvs -d:ntserver:Atlantis026:D:/WebApp export -D 10/10/2002 -d backup work the cvsNT server exports to the client's folder named "backup" the module "work", and it's ok! But when I try to backup the module in a specific directory of C:\>cvs -t -d:ntserver:Atlantis026:D:/WebApp export -D 10/10/2002 -d:C:/backupWeb work the cvsNT server return an error: -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ntserver:Atlantis026:D:/WebApp S-> do_module (work, Updating, , ) S-> do_module (work, Updating, :C:/backupWeb, ) cvs export: cannot chdir to :C:: Invalid argument cvs export: ignoring module work Why??? Can someone help me ? thanks in advance Riccardo Castrignano riccardo.castrignano at gruppoatlantis.com _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
