I am looking for a way to make mirror copies (and update periodically) of a set of folders (and the files in them) on an internal Mac drive ... to an external drive and keep the folders names, structure, and files in them exactly as they were on the source drive.
I tried a quick test using FFS but looking at the results only the files were copied from the source to the destination drive, leaving out the folder structure.
Am I missing something, is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance !
Copy files and folders from drive A to drive B keeping structure intact ?

FFS will/should retain the full (sub)folder structure for all files included in a sync.
I.e.: the folder structure inside your left-side base location will be duplicated to your right-side base location (and vice versa in case of a two-way sync).
Obviously, the absolute path will differ and depends, amongst others, on the choice of your left- and right-base-location.

but it did not. how do you do it ? it put all the files on the destination drive in the top level folder that I selected and did not create/duplicate the sub folders from the source drive. Is there a config or setting to make this happen ? Thanks.
