how to copy files and folders while maintaining the first foldername

[Andreas_HGW]

Hello

The following situation I need quite often, but I could not find a solution.
I have to copy folders from a old PC to a harddisk and later back to a new PC.

So I have several pairs of folders to copy. e.q.

C:\xxxx to E:\newPC
C:\yyyy to E:\newPC
C:\zzzz to E:\newPC

But want I want to keep the old structure of the files of the old PC.
That means, at E:\newPC the structure of the files and folders should look like this:

E:\new\xxxx
E:\new\yyyy
E:\new\zzzz

At the moment, Freefilesync copies all files and subdirectories from C:\xxx directly to E:\new.
There is no E:\new\xxxx.

Is there any possibility to do what I want?

best regards and thanks

Andreas

If you use a single left-right folder pair,
define your left location as C:\ and your right location as E:\newPC\
(you may then use the Include filter to include e.g. just \xxxx, \yyyy and \zzzz )

or, if you use multiple left-right folder pairs,
define C:\xxxx\ as your 1st left location and E:\newPC\xxxx\ as your 1st right location, and
define C:\yyyy\ as your 2nd left location and E:\newPC\yyyy\ as your 2nd right location, and
define C:\zzzz\ as your 3rd left location and E:\newPC\zzzz\ as your 3rd right location
In this case FFS may inform you that e.g. E:\newPC\yyyy does not pre-exists and will be created during the sync.
