coolxal Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is my current set up. Windows on SSD with Bittorrent SyncData on a 3TB Internal DriveSynced to a NAS with read only (i.e. changes only go one way from Internal Drive to NAS) I want to reinstall Windows along with Bittorrent Sync. Once this is complete, how can I add the folders back such that sync status is the same as before the reinstall so I don't resync several terabytes of data? Is there a way to back up and restore BTSync settings/folder keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Is there a way to back up and restore BTSync settings/folder keys? Before reinstalling Windows: 1) Exit Sync 2) Backup (take a copy of) your %AppData%\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync folder 3) Re-install Windows 4) Install Sync 5) As soon as Sync has installed, exit Sync (without setting anything up) 6) Restore your previous %AppData%\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync folder back to the same location 7) Restart Sync, and all your previous Sync folders/settings should be there!
