Plus it has a schedule that you can set to back up the files automatically.

I don't want a BACKUP...I want straight FILE COPY from device to SD. I'm going to be syncing the folders on device to folders on SD \Sashimi\auto\root\<folders>, so that when I reload a phone, those files are copied back to the proper locations.


ABSOLUTELY NO BACKUP OR ACTIVESYNC SOLUTIONS WILL WORK.

This MUST be a file/folder ONLY copy.

The software doesn't exist. It's been dead for a while now. Develop your own or find somebody that will. Don't worry though zim, i'll at least thank everybody here that "tried" to help.

The card installed inside your phone? If so, you never said why a simple drag and drop with a good file browser like GS Finder Plus (or, copy and paste with File Explorer) fails to suit your need. With GSF+, you can set up a screen that shows a RAM folder containing all files you wish to sync, adjacent to a folder on SD card where copies are kept. Once set up, a single drag and drop should do the trick.

GSFinder+ is freeware. More info here:

I already explained all this in previous posts SEVERAL time. I'll repeat to the relevance of your post below:

I don't need to find the files, I know where they are. As for why I can't just copy and paste, because there's too many files, and it would take too long. The point is to automate the process of building the phone back to where I was from a hard reset, which I do often.

What has been dead? Do you know something I don't? If there is software, dead or not, I'd like to know. I may still be able to find it.

And why be a ****y *** about clicking thanks. Did YOU find any of the answers helpful? Doubt it, and I didn't either. Just because someone answers doesn't mean it solved the problem. I don't give thanks because someone posted cannonfodder without taking the time to read my problem thoroughly. If you want to be that blatantly ignorant, then go ahead and thank away. While you're at it, thank me for pointing out your incompetance at improperly using the thanks button. *roll eyes*

well, if your not worried about true 'sync' you can use the built in backup in sashimi, or write your own script.
mortscript can auto overwrite (the old files on sd card) always, or based on file date/size, or you could have it pop a dialog if there's a conflict.
it sounds like you could just go with the auto overwrite only if the file @ destination is older.

No, no, no, GS Finder is not a search app to FIND files or folders (though it does have that feature too). It's a file explorer with the ability to show your My Device directory in one pane of a split window screen, and your Storage Card in the other pane.

If you re-organize your files to be copied into a single folder (or few as possible), it would be an easy drag and drop.

Isn't that what a back-up app is for? Can't blame you though, 'cuz they're expensive. Once you become familiar with GSF+, and rethink your file structure, I'm confident it'll make your recovery from hard reset go quickly. The only question is whether the time spent learning and setting up GSF+ added to time for files to be restructured would be any faster than whatever other way you've been restoring your files. Best of luck!

Hmm....never thought of that. Let me make sure I understand you right. Right a script that copies the files/folders I want to whenever I want them to? I'm assuming I can copy entire folders. I think once I've got the folders set I want to copy. That would be basically the same thing that a SyncToy would do, and I could do it msyelf. I'm going to have to do some research on Mortscript to figure out what commands do what.

And yes, I would want to overwrite the files on the SD card.

THANKS!!!! I think that will get me by for now. =)

I want something that will be automatic or that I can run on a daily basis. I don't want to go hunt-and-peck. There are literally 20+ folders and many more files I have to search through and place in as many folders in the Sashimi auto script directory.

That being said, I don't hink you fully understand what Sashimi, or the root copy function of that program do and why I'm looking to do what I am. I think you're trying to offer solutions for something that are completely unrelated in terms of my needs.

Thanks for trying to help!

lol, all roads lead to mortscript.
