    I'm trying to use the CLI to create a job that will backup multiple folders, but I think I need help with the syntax!

    I have these folders:

    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>dir c:\folder_*
     Volume in drive C has no label.
     Volume Serial Number is 6074-F932
    
     Directory of c:\
    
    06/01/2022  10:45    <DIR>          folder_1
    06/01/2022  10:41    <DIR>          folder_2
    

    I can create a job for each folder individually:

    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb addBackupPlan -a "tst-local" -n "tst-local-1" -d "c:\folder_1"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    
    Backup plan is created.
    
    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb addBackupPlan -a "tst-local" -n "tst-local-2" -d "c:\folder_2"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    
    Backup plan is created.
    

    How do I create a job for both folders? Just separating the paths with a semi-colon doesn't work:

    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb addBackupPlan -a "tst-local" -n "tst-local-3" -d "c:\folder_1"; "c:\folder_2"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    
    Backup plan is created.

    To clarify my example above, I pasted the wrong one, but I've tried:

    Both paths separated by a semi-colon within one set of quotes - fails because it says the path doesn't exist:
    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb addBackupPlan -a "tst-local" -n "tst-local-3" -d "c:\folder_1; c:\folder_2"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    WARNING: Cannot add file or folder 'c:\folder_1; c:\folder_2'. Path doesn't exist
    
    Backup plan is created.
    

    A separate set of quotes for each path (the example in my first post). It does create a plan, but only with the first path:
    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb addBackupPlan -a "tst-local" -n "tst-local-3" -d "c:\folder_1"; "c:\folder_2"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    
    Backup plan is created.
    
    C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb getPlanDetails -n "tst-local-3"
    CloudBerry Backup Desktop Edition Command Line Interface started
    Name: tst-local-3

    I was looking at that, but can’t see any examples of backing up multiple directories. It says the “-iem” and “-efm” parameters take multiple values separated by a semi-colon, but as I say, I haven’t found how to do similar for “-d”

    Have you tried adding multiple -d parameters?
