Simple Question from a New Member & User

Post by Yuri »

Dear Members:

I have a local D:\ disk on my PC with the following directories:

* Documents
* Downloads
* Images
* Music
* Temp
* Videos

I want to back-up these directories (exactly the same ones) on an external drive E:\ .
In this drive E:\ there are the same directories indicated above, and also 2 new objects:
* an "autorun.inf" file
* an "autorun directory"

These both are only to enable an particular red icon on the E:\ drive.
(for instance, the autorun.inf file reads: [autorun]ICON=AUTORUN\GREEN.ICO).

I need always to copy from drive D:\ to drive E:\ all 6 directories indicated above (replacing all the files on drive E:\ that are needed), but never deleting the autorun file and directory that are in drive E:\ .

How to do that?

All the best,

Yuri.

Hello,
thanks for your question!

You could use the subfolder selection ("Choose Folders and Files"), click "All" in the lower left and then right-click the root folder and choose "No files".

Note that deletions are only mirrored in Exact Mirror mode. Don't use SmartTracking for one-way syncs.

Please test the job by running it in attended mode (with preview) and take a look at the Sync Preview to make sure the proposed actions make sense.
