Multiple folders and Destination Folders

[bhra0]

Hello. It is a newbie question, probably something very easy to solve, but I couldn't find how.

I want to backup dozens of folders from different hard drives on my PC, Folder A, Folder B, Folder C etc.
So I drag and drop all these folders to "Compare" section in FreeFileSync. I need to copy all these folders to "Backup" folder on external hard drive. The problem is, when I set "Synchronise" location to "H:\Backup\" FreeFileSync copies all individual files/folders from my source folders to the backup folder. Is it possible to automatically create copies of the source folders instead of copying files from those folders to backup folder?

If I am not clear, I will give you an example. Let's say I need to backup folders:
C:\FolderA and D:\FolderB.
I want to have copies of these folders in H:\Backup, like that: H:\Backup\FolderA and H:\Backup\FolderB.
What I get now are files being extracted from FolderA and FolderB and loosely copied to "H:\Backup\.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You have to create the individual folders inside the backup target first. Then you can have each source location sync to its respective folder in the backup. So Instead of syncing "C:\FolderA" to "H:\Backup", you want to sync "C:\FolderA" to "H:\Backup\FolderA"

@xCSxXenon Thank you. So there is now way to set FFS to automatically recreate folder names?

FFS will match the exact structure of the source directory when syncing to the target directory

You need to add those (root) folder names to your right-side base locations as suggested by xCSxXenon.
If one or more of those right-side folders "H:\Backup\FolderA", "H:\Backup\FolderB", etc. does not yet exist, FFS will even suggest to create those for you. So, you can even skip the step of first creating FolderA, FolderB etc. in H:\Backup\.
