Upgrading to SyncBackSE V4

This document contains important information about upgrading to SyncBackSE V4 from previous versions of SyncBackSE or SyncBack (freeware).

You can ignore this message if your computer does not already have an old version of SyncBackSE, or SyncBack, installed.

Under certain situations the directory selections for a profile cannot be completely converted to the new format. Profiles that may not be converted correctly have the following characteristics:

- The profile has the ôLet me choose which sub-directories to includeö option enabled (see point 1 below).

- The ôIgnore new directories (improves performance)ö option is not enabled (see point 2 below).

- A child directory (with no child directories of its own) has been selected but its parent directory has not been selected (see point 3 below).

In the following situation when the settings are converted, two of the directory selections are lost (see point 4 below):

As you can see above, the directories sub-directory 1.1.1 and sub-directory 5.1.1 are no longer selected.

When SyncBackSE V4 is first run it will convert your profiles. If any of your profiles may have lost directory selections, then a warning message will appear listing the profiles that may be affected:

In the example above, a profile called Upgrading SyncBackSE may be affected.

The new folder & file selections in V4 now allow for complete control over what is to be copied and what is to be ignored. Unfortunately it is impossible to do a complete conversion of the old folder selection settings due to the storage method used in previous versions. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
