sync appears complete but continues to sync same files but to a "/root" to destination

Post by andre_andre »

using Syncovery-10.15.10-amd64.deb on a proxmox host
Left is locally mounted cifs share from a nas
Right is OneDrive for business.

Left is /mnt/bind/ds213/simex/onedrive and right is ext://OneDrive for Business/ ...leaving the "select folder" blank.
I want to replicate everything from cloud to my onedrive folder as a local backup Right to Left, currently using standard copy

all appears well at first, /workspace01/10_media_productions for example is done
once all the drive appears in sync it starts to sync the cloud storage again to /root/workspace01/10_media_productions (example)

to correct this for the moment I have used the include folder and selected all the folders, except the "OneDrive for Business" folder... and this appears to work without issue other than it will not sync files directly inside that "OneDrive for Business" folder but I can live with that for now.

Let me know if you would like me to relay files and which files to you or try other settings.

Overall, I love what you have created, your product is very versatile and has played a vital role in my work over the last few years... I hope you feel proud and I sincerely thank you.

Hello,
it seems that Microsoft recently started adding this "root" item to the folder hierarchy. I think the best solution is to excluded it by typing
/root

into the "Exclusion Masks" field (Masks & Filters -> Exclusions).

excellent, exclusion is better so any new folders I make at the root won't accidentally be forgotten from the backup job.
Thank you Tobias
