Hi,
I have systems I sync with many subfolders and repeated filenames within them. They are on client sites so version control isn't always present. I'll receive a 'code package' which I'm to copy over the old files on the server, but I'd of course like to keep the 'overwritten files' somewhere so if I need to roll back, I can copy the old files back over again.
BC gets very close to this in the Options -> Backup area, where it lets me specify a directory to put the overwritten files to. However, they all end up in the root of that directory, and subfolders aren't preserved. So this is of limited utility in all but very simple cases.
My question then is:
a) Could I request an option that says 'preserve folder structure' in that backup options menu?
b) In the meantime, is there a script that could perform the same purpose?
Many thanks!
