I know that there has been some discussion regarding older versions of Toucan not copying empty directories; however, I am using version 2.0.7 and I am experiencing this problem. When I tried to perform a "Backup" of my My Documents folder using Toucan I end up with a zipped file. Upon decompressing the zipped file and selecting the properties of all of the contents and comparing the file and folder count to the original I found that there are the exact same number of files; however, there is a difference in the number of folders. Specifically, there are four less folders in the backup than the original. So, I analyzed the two and discovered that the four missing folders are empty directories.
One may ask, "Why have empty directories?" I would respond, "Why is a program designed to backup directories not backing up directories exactly?"
I am new to using this software so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
