Suppress overwrite dialogue when backing up prefs from command line

Help & Support
1

I'm backing up DOpus preferences with a batch script that runs before my main backup app. The particular command for DOpus is:

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Prefs Backup=all TO "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\backups\DOpus" QUIET/S

That works but every time I get a dialogue from DOpus asking if it's okay to overwrite the previous backup. I would like a way to suppress that and always overwrite, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do that anywhere.

Why not make the batch file delete the old backup first?

It should also be QUIET not QUIET/S, to prevent the full Backup & Restore dialog opening.

Mainly because if you delete the backup file, you have one fewer backups. It's possible that the command might fail for some reason.

I suppose what is needed is a batch file that backs up to a new file, checks if it worked, and then overwrites the old one.
