Backup Plan - hidden folders and files

Post by cmeyer76 »

How do I configure Asustor Backup Plan to backup hidden files and folders on my Windows laptop? When I setup a plan and select folders/files, Windows hidden folders are not visible. I'm trying to backup my Outlook data which is located in the hidden "Appdata" folder.

My "AppData" is not hidden (not sure if I changed it before or not). You might be able to change AppData's attributes (remove hidden attribute).

For anyone interested, I had to unhide those folders in Windows. Simple solutions, but one I had preferred not to have to do. At any rate, the folders can now be selected and backed up.
