LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Replacing one folder with another Clone Folder, Source Target

Replacing one folder with another: Clone Folder

Clone Folder replicates one folder onto another by adding, deleting, and updating files on the target until they match those on the source. After opening the target and the source folders, click Clone Folder on the SyncTools menu. Then choose whether to include or exclude subfolders.

Source Target

Use Clone Folder to replace the con- tents of one folder (the target) with the contents of another (the source).

Clone Folder has the effect of eras- ing the target and copying the entire source.

Clone Folder replaces one folder (the target) with another (the source). The effect is the same as deleting everything on the target and copying everything from the source.

Cloning a folder adds and updates target files until they are identical to those on the source. In addition, it deletes any target file that has no counterpart on the source.

CAUTION This is the ONLY File Transfer function of LapLink Gold Corporate that allows data dele- tion. Since this function cannot be undone, consider carefully before using a Clone folder.

NOTE With Clone Folder, you determine the items to be copied by selecting the folder containing the items, not by selecting the items themselves.
