Hi
let's say I want to backup the following directories:
sa
sb
sc
For sa I have the user sa_user, for sb the user sb_user and for sc the user sc_user. Each user can access only his folder.
Can I create a single GUI/batch file where I enter credentials for each different folder? (if not: Fearture request!)
Or do I really need to create different GUI/batch files - one for each credential?
Olaf
One GUI/batch file with multiple (different) login credentials?

There is no way to store credentials in a FFS configuration directly. However FFS uses the standard Windows network connection features. So if a network connection for a given path is available, but currently unconnected, FFS connects. This works for both mapped and stateless network connections. If this connection requires credentials, FFS will bring up the Windows default login prompt. If possible this info is preserved so that it does not need to be entered again on a subsequent access.
So there two ways to fulfill your scenario: 1. just enter the login data when asked in FFS 2. establish the required connections before starting FFS, e.g. using the "net" command
