I would like to copy the entire contents of my "D:\" drive to a folder on a backup drive (F:) under a specific folder ("F:\D_DRIVE").
For example, D:\Data\somefile.pdf should end up in F:\D_DRIVE\Data\somefile.pdf.
My files tab is set as:
Source: D:\
Destination: F:\D_DRIVE
However, when I run the task, I get a new folder created under "F:\D_DRIVE" with a date/timestamp such as "D 2024-02-07 13;31;13", so that file ends up in F:\D_DRIVE\D 2024-02-07 13;31;13\Data\somefile.pdf.
The obvious fix to this would be to uncheck the "Always create top parent folder", but that option is greyed out on the Advanced Settings tab (it is checked, but cannot be unchecked).
Any suggestion how I can get my desired results?
Thanks.

Unchecking that option works ONLY if you are not creating separated backups.

Thank you! I must have mistakenly clicked that because it was only set on one of my tasks--everything else worked as expected, so I was very confused what that particular one would not do what I wanted.
