Hi Rachael, You know, I usually just back up the entire flash disk as well. But, I did want to try to back up a folder, just to see what would happen. And, after I did that, it took me awhile to find those files. But, what it did, at least in my case, was to make the folder, but then put the files in a folder below that folder with one with the same name. So, I guess it really made a directory with my folder name, and then put the folder with the files in it in a subdirectory of that directory. For example, I copied my general folder over to the SD card. So, to get to those files, I had to go to my SD card/general/general folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachael Warke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 8:05 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] backup problem
This is really true! This very day I tried to back up a whole folder using the backup utility. While it did put a folder on the designated drive, no files were in the folder. But from the file manager menu, I then selected "copy file", used the multiple character wildcard, and all the files went into the newly created folder. It would have been just as efficient to creat a new folder on the drive and copy the files, which is likely the more appropriate way to get the job done.
