If I create the following folder pairs:
D:\Data\OneDrive\Documents --> F:\FFSBackup\OneDrive\Documents
D:\Data\OneDrive\Desktop --> F:\FFSBackup\OneDrive\Desktop
and synchronize them with versioning and the following settings:
Folder: F:\FFSBackup\Archive\%Year%%Month%%Day%\
Naming convention: Timestamp [File]
then all modified files in the "root" directories (Documents, Desktop) will be located directly in the archive root and not under their own names.
Example:
D:\Data\OneDrive\Documents\FileFromDocuments.txt
D:\Data\OneDrive\Desktop\FileFromDesktop.txt
are moved to
F:\FFSBackup\Archive\20260312\FileFromDocuments.txt
F:\FFSBackup\Archive\20260312\FileFromDesktop.txt
Does anyone know a solution for this?
Best regards.

You should sync the single left-right pair
D:\Data\OneDrive --> F:\FFSBackup\OneDrive
and use an Include Filter, in which you replace the default Include Filter
* (=everything)
by two lines
\Documents\
\Desktop\
As an alternative, you can use local sync settings per left-right pair (via the gear-icon mid between each left-right pair), and there specify your Versioning as per
Folder: F:\FFSBackup\Archive\%Year%%Month%%Day%\Documents\
Naming convention: Timestamp [File]
respectively
Folder: F:\FFSBackup\Archive\%Year%%Month%%Day%\Desktop\
Naming convention: Timestamp [File]
D:\Data\OneDrive --> F:\FFSBackup\OneDrive
