RomanZ Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Frank,Usually, Sync stores all its data in storage folder. By default, it is located in ".sync" hidden subfolder next to binary. Though, it is possible to run Sync with --config parameter and specify whole config file which says where to store service files. The PPA version uses second option and keeps storage separately from binary. You can try to do the following: find where storage is, grab it, and put to the ".sync" folder, which should stay in the same directory where binary stays. You can easily find it by "settings.dat" and "sync.dat" files (though note, that you'll need to move all the files in storage). For the future - you can backup storage folder AND all the .sync subfolders (each folder you Sync has one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
