Tech Tip # 1- Creating root paths if they do not exist:
Not everyone utilizes user accounts at home, but since adopting Windows Vista, I have become much more familiar with user account creation and maintaining separate user accounts. With that said, I make sure that files important to each user account are protected from laptop to primary PC and then from primary PC to external hard drive. When I initially setup my replication tasks, I would create a path using SureSync and path options. I checked the box on the root path options that says, “Create root folder if it does not exist”. Within each destination path, I then type the username I’m backing up files from. For example G:\DocumentBackups\PublicDocs does not exist on my external-HD, but when I typed the path within SureSync’s wizard and checked the box to create root folder then it would appear when I first launched the job. SureSync creates the folder and then replicates files from the Public account to the path specified on the G Drive.
