Hi, i'm new to ffs. Sorry in advance if this question is redundant with a previous post (i tried to search, unfortunately without positive answer).

I want to only backup certain folders under C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming (which contains numerous of them)

Is there a way to quickly check/uncheck with a GUI (include/exclude) some subfolder from this directory? (as SyncBack does)? If not, any suggestions/tip would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, regards,
P

When using the FFS GUI, you can select one or multiple files and/or folders,
then right click and choose to temporarily exclude those files and/or folders,
or to include or exclude selected files and/or folders via the include, resp. exclude filter.

As you only want to sync some out of many folders, the include via filter option seems
the way to go.
You can then store that sync under a distinct name, and (re)run it as it suits you.

Thxs again,
