Synchronized files and the missing files

[Gary Olman]

 I put up the synchronized file problem and with every body's advice I think
I found the solution. Using "Automate" software to run the backup, it asks
what files, where are they, where to save them, etc. I used "*.*" as my wild
card to select all files, but this apparently excluded the  Map, data and
key files. Using "*" only one asterisk caught these 3 files.

Thanks
Gary

 I did check the permissions. The filepro directory was read only, I changed
it and checked the sub directories. However I must check again

I'm not familiar with Automate but many backup programs create the backup
files with read only permissions. Is it possible that the backup files you
are copying back to the filepro directory are marked read-only?
