Cobian Reflector • Scripting automatic backups

$

Hi,
This is a great tool that I've been using for years, thanks for work! I've just discovered the Reflector version. The following applies to both Cobian Gravity and Reflector.

My use-case:
I've created an automated backup (which is fine and requires cobian to be running in the background), but I also want to allow easy manual backups to an external drive.

To do the external backups I was going to create a BATCH file that the users could simply double-click to run when the device is plugged in. However the CLI interface doesn't work because cobian is already running.

Outside of using Windows Task Scheduler to do the automatics (which means I don't get the benefit of the cobian side stuff), any suggestions for how to make this work? Ideally Cobian would allow use of the CLI while it's running (pass the commands through to the running instance for example).
Thanks again!
