Profile Properties — Folders
This profile property enables folders to be designated between which a copy operation is to be performed.
Folder List
The source and destination folders are administered in two facing folder lists.
New folders can be added via the toolbar or from another program via dragging & dropping.
The folders can be deactivated for a copy operation as needed via their checkboxes.
Only one destination folder can be activated in Sync copy mode.
Allocation of the Source and Destination Folders
If you activate more than one folder each source folder is processed with each destination folder during a copy operation:- Source_folder1 with Destination_folder1
- Source_folder1 with Destination_folder2
- Source_folder2 with Destination_folder1
- Source_folder2 with Destination_folder2
- etc.
- Source_folder1 with Destination_folder1
- Source_folder2 with Destination_folder2
- etc.
Exclude Subfolders
This causes all the subfolders to be excluded from the copy operation.Exclude 1st Level Files
This causes all the 1st level files of the source folder to be excluded from the copy operation.User ID and Password
This enables the access particulars for password-protected network folders to be specified.Variables
- You can use Windows environment variables in folder paths.
- You can use the variable %driveletter:drivename% to replace a drive letter (e.g. X:) when using external storage devices (e.g. USB drives) that are allocated a different drive letter every time they are connected to a computer.
AllSync checks all drives present for a match with the drive name specified. When a match is detected the drive found is used. The drive name may contain the wildcards * and ?. You can specify any drive letter you like.
Examples:
- %F:Backup%\Backup
- %X:Backup HD No.?%\Backup
- %P:Backup%
- You can use the variable %MDL:driveposition% to replace drive letters (e.g. X:).
This variable is automatically replaced by the drive letter contained in the drive list under Connect Drives (Profile Properties) at the position indicated.
Example:
- %MDL:1%\Backup
- %MDL:2%
