Hi friends,
Working with new zimaboard2. I was trying to backup one folder (“Gallery”) with several sub-folders in it from a network location to Zimaboard 2 storage “Gallery” folder. The issue is when backing up the process create additional “Gallery” folder inside the selected destination “Gallery” folder. How can I avoid this problem. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I believe ZimaOS Backup is working as designed, when you select a folder called “Gallery” as the source, it will always recreate that folder name inside the destination. That’s why you see /Gallery/Gallery.
To avoid this, I suggest selecting the parent folder as your destination instead.
E.G:
Source:
Gallery
Destination:/DATA/Storage
This way the backup creates the correct /Gallery folder without nesting it again.
Thanks for the guidance. It worked.
I believe the backup tool simply mirrors the source folder name, so choosing the parent directory as the destination is the safest way to avoid extra nested folders.
Yeah. It was my bad I misunderstood. Previously I was using Syncthing for backup purposes. It worked little different way. Thanks again for the clarification.
