HTTP API (Bash)

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "sourcePath": "/sourcePath/", "destinationPath": "/destinationPath", "include": "", "exclude": "", "minAge": "", "maxAge": "", "minSize": "", "maxSize": "", "caseSensitive": false, "recurse": true, "clearDestinationPath": false, "overWriteData": true }' http://localhost:5860/storage/copy

HTTP API (PowerShell)
