Put the date to a variable first it is the Get-Date that seems to be the problem in my example above.

$source_dir = "B:\Database_Backups"

$target_dir = "\\machine-b\Database_Backups"

$d = Get-Date

Get-ChildItem $source_dir\*.* -include *.bak,...

Hi John,

Just tested your theory, and it looks good! Thanks very much you have save much hair pulling 🙂

Hi ali,

If I start the job at step 3 it still does not perform the changes on the Data, but step 4 completes successfully too.
