No folders?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Anders Petersson's Freeware Forum : One Thread |
Hi, I've just downloaded NHB and attempted to back up a couple of folders to the same destination folder. It appears that NHB backs up the files within the source folders to the destination folder without the original folders. When I check the Backup folder the original source folders are not there. Am I missing something or is NHB unable to Backup both the source folder and files, just the files?Thanks

Hi Gordon.I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. I'll try to answer:
NHB copies the CONTENT of a folder. It may be files or folder, but everything in the folder you've selected to backup will be backed up. NHB will not create a folder on the destination with the same name as the folder you selected to backup. So, if you backup
c:\temp
to
d:\dest
the content of c:\temp will be placed directly in d:\dest. If you want to you can manually choose d:\dest\temp as the destination folder.
I hope I've answered your question.

I think he described the same problem i am having and i will give an example :my backup set is D:\ to E:\
The structures look like D:\ + old dir + new dir
E:\ + old dir
When executing the backup set (D:\ to E:\), it only backups the content under D:\ and +old dir. It will fail backing up the +new dir folder because it cannot create it somehow.
