Network data wrong- Help!
I have a network between my desktop and my laptop and backup my data
successfully between the two However when I looked at the list of files which are shown on my Desktop network the files are different from the files on the desktop The laptop network files are correct as in the laptop When I look at the laptop again the files on the laptop network are correct but the files on the desktop network are different What can be causing this?

"What is a Desktop network"? comes to mind. I'm sorry, but I've read your problem statement four times, and it still doesn't make any sense. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

Blair How are you doing your backup? Do you just manually copy files from the desktop to the laptop (and vice versa) or are you using some sort of synchronizing application (e.g., Microsoft's SyncToy)? Where are you looking at "the list of files"? Is the actual content of the files different or only the date/time modified? Give an example. Create a Word document on the desktop and save it on the desktop as test.doc. Explain the steps you take to back it up to the laptop and then explain what you do to determine that the file on the desktop and the file on the laptop are different. Please be specific and don't omit steps. -- Lem -- MS-MVP Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |

I have absolutely no problem with my backup. It works perfectly. I will talk only about the problem with the desktop data On my desktop I have my own data seperated in it's own partition and I have about 37 folders When I open the network on the laptop and look at the desktop my own data shows only 3 folders I had assumed that when I look at the desktop from the laoptop I would see the same 37 folders! Hope that explains the problem better Blair Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |
