You would have to create 5 tasks: File Monitor task, Email task, Copy task,
Delete task, Chain task
1) File Monitor task -
Dir to monitor = c:\data_folder
Filename = (leave blank. This will monitor all files)
Task To Run = None
Options = Run task if File exists
2) Email task
In the attachment field, use
[DIR]c:\data_folder[FILE]*
This will attach all files from the c:\data_folder to the email
3) Copy task
Source Dir = c:\data_folder
target Dir = c:\backup_folder
Filename = (leave blank - this will backup all files to the c:\backup_folder)
4) Delete task
Source Dir = c:\data_folder
Filename (leave blank - this will delete all files in the c:\data_folder)
5) Chain task (4 steps)
Step 1 - File monitor task
Select Option : If exit code = 0, Go to Step 100. This makes sure that if no
file(s) are found, then the email, copy and delete tasks are not
run. If file(s) are found then exit code = -100, and steps 2-4 in
chain will be run
Step 2 - Email task - default options
Step 3 - Copy task - default options
Step 4 - delete task - default options
6) Schedule the chain task to run at your desired frequency.
