Hello,

For backup/restore purposes: where is the "last sync" stored?
Or better: what should I do to restore the correct "last sync", as I restored a Windows image and now the "last sync" gives older data.

Thank you

Cheers
Kees

"GlobalSettings.xml" in your Appdata\Roaming folder
Better yet, just run the syncs and the 'last sync' will update

Each config has its own 'last sync' status

Sorry, but it doesn't work!
I restored yesterday a Windows-Image with an older one: the "Last Sync" had the date contained in the older Image, even if I just had the sync three days before, with no possibility tho change it!

And to do the sync again ist possible, but it isn't a solution/answer to the question!

Regards, Thiersee

Here's a picture of the section in the GlobalSettings.xml that tracks/reports the 'last sync' status. That long number is what you'd have to modify for each config/line. You have to modify each one or run the syncs to change the data
