Expert Mode: Copy/Delete, Folders Settings

 

The progress bar appears when a task is running and provides visual feedback of the progress of that task to the user:

 

·Copy sub-directory and file security permissions (only valid for NTFS): If ticked then NTFS folder security is copied when new directories are created. Note that if the security is changed on a folder then the new security is not copied over. NTFS file security will also be copied with files.

 

·Copy sub-directory attributes and creation date (only when new directories are created): If ticked then folder attributes and the creation date are copied when new directories are created. Note that if the attributes or creation date are changed on a folder then the new settings are not copied over.

 

·Delete all empty directories in destination/right: If ticked then all empty directories in the destination/right will be deleted at the end of the profile run. Note that a folder will not be deleted if it has files in it, including any hidden files. You can configure which files SyncBackSE can automatically delete to make a folder empty with the ôIf a folder cannot be deleted because it's not emptyàö setting below.

 

·Do not delete the empty directories if the profile run fails: By default empty folders are not deleted in the profile run was not a success.

 

·Delete all the empty directories on source/left: If ticked then all empty directories in the source/left will be deleted at the end of the profile run. Note that a folder will not be deleted if it has files in it, including any hidden files. You can configure which files SyncBackSE can automatically delete to make a folder empty with the ôIf a folder cannot be deleted because it's not emptyàö setting below.

 

·Do not delete the empty directories if the profile run fails: By default empty folders are not deleted in the profile run was not a success.

 

·Ignore NTFS junction points (reparse points): If ticked then junction/reparse points are ignored. This is the default and recommended.

 

·If a folder cannot be deleted because it's not emptyà: Only empty folders can be deleted. Windows Explorer often creates special hidden files in folders that contain settings related to that folder but contain no user created information. This setting defines which files can be deleted to make a folder empty. By default the thumbs.db and desktop.ini files will be deleted. Note these files are only deleted if they are the only files in the folder.
