|
|
I am testing this program. When I try to make a Backup or Sync for the first time, of a Source directory with sub directories to a Target, the program does not copy the Parent directory, it only copies the sub directories. e.g.
Source: My Files
Sub a
Sub b
Sub C
Target: Backup
After using ViceVersa the Target will end up with the following:
Backup
Sub a
Sub b
Sub c
The Target SHOULD be as follows:
Backup
My Files
Sub a
Sub b
Sub c
What am I doing wrong, or is there a problem with the program.
Regards
Perry |

This behavior is by design. To obtain the backup results you are after, you can use:
Source: My Files
Target: Backup\My Files
This will result in the Target as follows:
Backup
My Files
Sub a
Sub b
Sub c _________________ --

This is very cumbersome as in every case you have to open the Subdirectory in the target. Lets say you have 20-30 parent source, this will mean that you have to open all 20-30 parent directories in the target in order to get a true copy or sync. |
