|
|
When i mirror-backup a folder, Vice Versa makes only a copy of the files and subfolders in the main folder to the target folder. Not the folder where the files and subfolders are in.
So there are only the files and the subfolders in the target folder.
This is very annoying. I don't know what i am doing wrong.
I did'nt fiddle with the settings. I just installed the program and ran it.
What do i need to do to get it wright? |

Hi,
if you mirror
C:\FolderA\FolderB\
to
Z:\FolderX\FolderY\
ViceVersa will mirror the files and subfolders of C:\FolderA\FolderB\ into Z:\FolderX\FolderY\
If you want to have also FolderB on target then you should use:
C:\FolderA\FolderB\
to
Z:\FolderX\FolderY\FolderB\
There are also folder variables that can be used to automatically append FolderB to target, e.g.
<leaf> This variable can only be used for targets. It expands to the last subfolder of the corresponding source folder (a.k.a., the 'leaf' subfolder). For instance, if the source is "C:\source\folderA\", the leaf subfolder is the last subfolder in the path, i.e., folderA. If the target is "E:\target\<leaf>\", the variable <leaf> makes the target into "E:\target\folderA\".
See help file for more info on Folder Variables. _________________ --
