They only get backed up if you tell it to make them available offline.. BUT
you need to tell it make all subfolders available offline. Force a full
sync, and not a quick sync.
A quick sync will not get all the files. Turn off the sync on logon or log
off. That's the quick sync. After you configure the sync, you right click
and choose synchronize.. that's a full sync.
On top of that, are you XP Sp2, or SP3? If SP3, there's a post SP3 patch for
offline files that Ive found that helps (WindowsXP-KB944898-x86-ENU.exe).
Go to your GPO's
Computer Config
Administrative Templates
Network\Offline Files
Subfolders Always Available
Offline
Policy Setting
Subfolders always available offline Enabled
Ensures all subfolders are available offline when a folder is made
available for offline use.
Gpupdate /force
reboot
Also, put in the following reg keys to make sure you have no issues with
file types, and enter in your own file types of course
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\Exclus
ionErrorSuppressionList]
"*.mdb"=dword:00000000
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\Exclu
sionErrorSuppressionList]
"*.mdb"=dword:00000000
Doing this, I got rid of all my offline file issues, and any redirected
files inside My Documents were available offline , or online provided the
user did a sync to the corporate server on some type of regular basis.

If you redirect My Documents, then any folder in that folder will be
redirected as well. The images *would* then be backed up.

I have this issue driving me nuts.
Windows XP, all in a domain, when I redirect "My Documents" it also
redirects "My Pictures" which is obviously what I need. It appears Windows
also creates "%UserName%'s Pictures" under the profiles "My Documents" so
some crappy apps use this to store pictures and users don't notice that they
end up with unbacked up pictures?
Why is this "%UserName%'s Pictures" folder being made and how do I stop it?
Thanks!
