Can I ask you to clarify your statement?
"WITHOUT absolute paths, but creating top directory you will get: D:backup\dir2(files)
WITHOUT absolute paths, and BUT creating top directory you will get: D:backup\(files)"
I'm not sure what you mean by "and BUT" I think you meant to say "But Without". Also, by "top directory", do you mean Include Subdirectories is checked, Just checking?
My Backup has All Options checked on the General Tab which includes subdirectories. It's Differential.
My Source is a network location. My destination is a local drive.
No Compression, No filter, no events. On the Advanced Tab, Use absolute paths, is NOT checked.
My results are
Source: \\server\dir (This location has 5 directories/folders)
Destination: D:\server\dir1\dir2 (That location has the folders named for the backup and include all 5 directories)
For example in one of those 5 directories I have 9 folders and 22 files. (Nothing in this entire directory has changed in weeks.)
In the destination I have no files but all 9 folders. and all 9 are empty as are the additional subfolders within, the deepest going 4 additional folders deep. So it looks like this.
D:\server\dir\server-dir\backup-folder-dated (Differential)\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5 (Which is emtpy)
As far as I can tell, the entire backup and another I have just like it, are running like this. If data has changed, added, etc. it will be there, but so are all the additional folders even if nothing has.
