Vista - Prevent file deletion

08-05-2008

I accidentally deleted a number of files on my main computer. I was able to
restore them all from another PC that was in sync (thanks Foldershare). But
then FolderShare started to delete them on the other PC (I had stopped it
while restoring). How do I tell it that these 2 (I have a 3rd also) are now
the way I want them and don't delete any files?

Don't bother - FolderShare must propagate the original deletions to other
synchronised computers (by moving those files to the FolderShare trash
folder of those machines) but FS will also propagate to them new copies of
the replacement files you have already added back onto the main computer.

Remember that Foldershare has it's own "trash" - so you should be able to go
into that folder and recover any files that were deleted....it's pretty hard
to actually lose data with Foldershare.
