is there a particular reason you want to use II? And I'm not completely clear
about your quoting requirements, but I'd do something like this:
$arrayPaths = "Dir/1", "Dir/2", "Dir/3" -- don't need the initializer since you
have the comma operator
$options = '--verbose --recursive --blah --chmod=D=rwx,F=rw'
foreach ($path in $arrayPaths)
{
$source = "/cygdrive/c/Top Level/$path"
$dest = "10.0.0.13::test" + '"' + "/Top Level/$path + '"'
cmd.exe /c c:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.exe $options "$source" "$dest"
}
Using "cmd /c" has the distinct advantage of properly setting $LastExitCode for
error checking, which II often does not.

Guys,
I have a backup script to have ready for implementation on Saturday morning. It
uses rsync to copy on diffs to a remote Linux server over a vpn through a slow
link. I finally finished all the server and vpn setup and I had been avoiding
how to handle the huge dataset, which would make a simple dos script of
rsyncing the whole tree at once nearly impossible.
What I plan to do is iterate over a few known paths (and possibly add in some
error handling later). Does this make sense (highly abbreviated):
$arrayPaths = @("Dir 1/", "Dir 2/", "Dir 3/")
$Options = '--verbose --recursive --blah --chmod=D=rwx,F=rw'
foreach ($i in $arrayPaths)
{Invoke-Item C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.exe $Options `"/cygdrive/c/Top
Level/$i`" 10.0.0.13::test`"/Top Level/$i`"}
So what's the most elegant way to make the ii command run this mess?
Thanks!
