Sync Offline Folders?

[chrigelhodel]

Hello

Is there a way to sync offline folders? My user folder (Windows 7) contains several offline folders (i.e Desktop, Documents, Favorites, etc.). I'd like to include them also in the backup set.

Regards

I have no idea ...

Maybe you need to create separate jobs for them, or find out their true location and sync that ...

Creating a second job with UNC names works, but is very slow... (and a bit cumbersome) I was hoping SFFS could get those offline folders via Windows API and benefit from the offline cache.

Well, what happens when you use the program to back up for example

C:\Users\Tobias\Favorites

?

[chrigelhodel]

It resolves the offline folder immediately to the UNC name: \\sg1005z-v1\Tobias$\Favorites

Selecting C:\Users\Tobias does not show the offline folders in the SFFS specific subfolder "select files and folders" dialog. They are only visible when selecting the left directory.

I see! And when you back up C:\Users\Tobias completely, it doesn't see the contents of the Favorites, does it?

[chrigelhodel]

It even doesn't see the folder "Favorites". Those offline folders are only visible in the native windows explorer dialog. Maybe there is a different API to get all folders, special folders included?

I don't know, but maybe I can do something in a future version.
