![]() I am resolved to recreate my backup scheme but am still curious how the seemingly impossible happened. There is no option within the program to change drive letters. Indeed looking in text mode there were ‘H’s where there should have been “M”s. One called ‘SyncToyDirPairs.bin’ seemed a likely place to investigate. Checking further I found config files in C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SyncToy\2.0. I tried a repair install of Synctoy and a reboot to no avail. ![]() I reloaded Synctoy and now all targets were point to the H drive. I checked and the M drive was present as M, I checked to see if I had used the correct folder pair and noticed some folder pairs were listed with the target as the same drive letter as my source drive (H) but pointing to a correct folder structure for the M drive but pointing to a nonexistent location on my H drive. (The jpg shows the wording of the message as an example). ![]() Yesterday I went to do my usual sync and got an error message from Synctoy that said it could not find the target folder. I have two sets of 4 folders pairs, one set for each drive. This has worked just fine for years, I have two drives I use always setting them to drive M in disk management if need be as windows tends to assign D to one or the other of them. (there are 3 schemes one may chose form I only use ‘echo’). As those of you who have used Synctoy know it pairs an original folder with a folder in a backup location and sync the backup folder with the original. I have been using SyncToy 2.1 for years to backup 4 folders to an exterior USB docked HDD.
