|
|
Hi,
I'm trying to backup a folder and once the backup is complete I don't see the root folder of it.
Instead I'm seeing the contents of the root folder being copy straight to the target location. I need the root folder to be backup with its permission being retain.
Current situation
Source Folder
ABC (root folder)
with the following content
123
456
abc
Target Folder (on external hdd with ntfs file format)
123
456
abc
Backup Intention
Source Folder
ABC (root folder)
with the following content
123
456
abc
Target Folder (on external hdd with ntfs file format)
ABC
123
456
abc
What are the settings required for the above? |

Hi, you could try using the folder variable <sourcewithoutdrive> ... see help file for more info.
This variable can only be used for targets. It expands to the corresponding source folder, but without drive. For instance if the source is "C:\source\folder\" and the target is "E:\target\folder\<source>\", the variable expands the target to "E:\target\folder\source\folder\".
That will create the root automatically, however the problem I see is that ViceVersa does not copy file permissions between root folders, only for subfolders of source and target. _________________ --

So is there any other solution whereby the root folders permission are copied over? |

Maybe you could start from a level above and include only the subolder, e.g.:
source = c:\folderA\
target = X:\folderA\
Include subfolder filter = c:\folderA\myfolder\
This will copy permissions of c:\folderA\myfolder\ to x:\folderA\myfolder\ _________________ --
