Synchronizing Folders

The ability to synchronize folders across multiple com-
puters is an advanced feature available when you share
folders with other computers on your network that are
connected to your Mirra. You synchronize folders by
establishing a connection to a shared folder.
When a shared folder has been synchronized between
computers, changes made to it on one computer are
reflected on every other computer synchronized to that
folder and are automatically backed up to the Personal
Server.

Step 4: Select the location on your computer at which
you want to place the sync'd folder and click OK.
A copy of the selected folder now resides on this com-
puter and is synchronized with copies residing on the
other computers connected to your Mirra that have also
synchronized the folder.
If you delete, rename, or move a synchronized folder, it
will be deleted from all the computers synchronized to it.
Deleted folders can always be restored, however, using
the Restore option on the Backup Tasks menu.
Note: Synchronized folders cannot be copied into a folder that is
already selected for backup. Choose a destination folder that has
not yet been backed up.
