Avoid 'comparing' huge structure per user -subfolder filters

[Alice]

Hello.

I have a Citrix server with approx. 200,000 files on it split by firstname.lastname for 1,500 users, all I need is the 'Documents' folder in each username's folder structure to be copied to a backup server.

Folder structure is as follows for each user :

Firstname.Lastname\AppData
Firstname.Lastname\Documents
Firstname.Lastname\Other Data

is there any way to start the 'compare' at the :

Firstname.Lastname\Documents

folder point thus avoiding 'scanning / comparing' AppData which is HUGE per user .

Hope that makes sense.

Hi, assuming that the root source folder used is:

x:\folder\

and that there are subfolders such as:

x:\folder\Firstname.Lastname\AppData
x:\folder\Firstname.Lastname\Documents
x:\folder\Firstname.Lastname\Other Data

to include only 'Documents' for all users, use:

x:\folder\ as source in ViceVersa.

and

- add a subfolder filter Include Documents to include only all Documents subfolders.
OR
- add a subfolder filter Include Documents^ to include only all Documents subfolders but not the subfolders of Documents
OR
- add a subfolder filter Include \*\Documents to include only all Documents subfolders but only at level 1.

thanks

An excellent answer, succinct and accurate. Thank you.

As my Sysadmin colleague put it after seeing the file transfer in action.......‘ViceVersa is beautiful’
