Backup Offline Folder

[Norman Zhang]

Hi,

I have a XP Pro that syncs with a W2K. When I tried to backup the
offline folder on XP Pro, I see only some encrypted files under csc. Is
there a way I can decrypt and/or backup the origianl content from XP Pro?

Regards,
Norman

Restart your computer in Safe Mode and choose the specific files, select the
properties of the files and choose advanced, uncheck the encrypt file box.
Create a folder and place the files in them and add the folder to your
shared folder in Windows XP.

Thanks Andre. I'm not sure if encrypt is the proper word for it. The
off-line files synced from W2K are stored in a file format (CSC
database?). They cannot be easily viewd except through explorer. I would
like be able to backup them to another machine in case XP dies.

I found out an alternative to backup the offline folders/files on the XP
laptop. I open the offline folder (My Documents which is mapped to
another workstation on the network) on XP, manually copy and paste the
files to another media. I'm wondering is there a way to automate this
that only copies newly modified files? Script doesn't seem to work as it
can't identify the path for the source as the offline folder (My
Documents) is really a CSC folder. Copying that is just copying its
database which is not viwable on the new media.
