Copy File
The Copy File object copies a file from one directory to another. You can also copy files to network shares that are available using UNC paths.
Note: This object replaces the Copy File Legacy object. For more information, see the Legacy topic.
How it is used
Use the Copy File object to copy important files that have been created or modified in a folder that is being monitored by the Monitor Folder object to a backup location.
Configuration
To configure the Copy File object you need to know which files you are copying and the destination path where you will put the copies.
