SugarSynch: Application Data Backup

SugarSynch: Application Data Backup Posted on 4/26/2008

A few weeks ago I wrote about SugarSynch here on the blog.  I have been actively using SugarSynch to backup data between my laptop and my desktop at the office.  Things have been working wonderfully so far.  I have my My Documents folder being synched up between both machines.  Needless to say I'm a big fan of SugarSynch.

One issue I have encountered is the ability to backup data in hidden folders.  For example, an Adobe AIR application I use stores its data file inside a hidden folder in my profile, and SugarSynch Manager will not allow you to select hidden folders for backup.

My fix for this was to create a simple DOS cmd file to take my hidden folders and drop them into the "Magic Briefcase" (SugarSynch lingo for a folder that gets replicated automagically).  You can use your Windows Scheduler to have this auto-run for you to boot.
