Hello,

thank you for coding this software, seems to be what I need.

One issue though: On Windows, as a user with admin rights, how do I backup a user folder from another user? It simply does not show up in the list.

Thank you

In what list? Navigate to "C:\Users\" and the other folder should be there.

Excuse me, I'm an idiot.
When I created the profile for FFS I excluded most of the other users' folders and just yesterday I wanted to start backing them up. I just checked all the Windows/NTFS access rights and did not spot any problem - I also (thought) I made a new FFS profile by just changing the folder paths (which did not create a new one) and then I had the bright idea to check the filters - well, found the culprit.
Sorry, all fine.
