I have a client whose laptop was set up so the My Documents folder maps directly to the F: drive in her work network. However, it also Synchronizes so she can Work Offline when out of the office. Click on My Documents, and the files open.
The problem is that she wants to run a backup utility when offsite to make sure she doesn;t loose anything. The utility will only recognize the C drive, and the My Documents folder does not appear anywhere in any of the user profiles. Clearly, the synchronized files are being kept SOMEWHERE on the local hard drive, but no one can figure out where. If you open a document and pull up the Properties, it says its location is F:\My Documents. All she wants to do is find that folder when the synchronization is done so she make sure is it backed up properly, and then so she can find the data if she need to do a recovery.
So - does anyone know where Windows XP SP3 stores synchronized files? Or, at the very least, does any know how to get Windows to tell you where to find them?
Thanks in advance.
