Location on hard drive of backup configurations

[gogreen1]

When I create a new backup configuration, I've found some of them in C:\Users\[My User Name]\Documents as .ffs_gui files. However, I've noticed that some backup configurations listed in the FFS user interface don't appear in this expected location (C:\Users\[My User Name]\Documents). They work just fine, but where are they? Am I mis-identifying the default configuration location? Thanks.

There isn't a default configurations (sync job and batch job) location, you can save them where you want and FFS will list them anyway, as you have already discovered.

Thanks, Gianni1962. If I create a sync job and do nothing on its placement, where would I find it on my hard drive? And wouldn't that place be the default location?

You should/must choose the folder location best for you when saving your configuration/sync job and you should give it also a name:
- from the toolbar Configuration using Save or Save as...
- from the menu File

Oops. Yeah, I had forgotten about that.

I deleted all my jobs and started over again, this time making sure to place jobs where I want them. When all else fails, read the user manual!

Thanks, Gianni1962.

It was not necessary to delete them, it was enough to move them to your preferred folder(s) (better with FFS closed).

Then in FFS you would have reopened them from the new positions.

Yeah. I saw that. Anyway, now I have everything working the way I want. Thanks!
