Stopping Synchronization

If you no longer want the changes you make to your copy of a folder to be reflected

in the copy backed up on the Personal Server, you must stop the synchronization
to break the link between the folder on your computer and the folder on the
Personal Server.

If you were the creator of the folder, then when you stop synchronizing, you are also

removing that folder from your backup. However, other people who have
synchronized to your folder can continue to access it on their computers. If all the
people who have synchronized to a folder subsequently stop synchronizing, the
folder then disappears from the Personal Server.

To stop a synchronization,

Step 1:

On the Sharing screen, select the folder.

Step 2:

On the Sharing Tasks menu, select Stop synchronization.

The folder on your computer is no longer linked to the copy stored on the

Personal Server and is no longer backed up. However, the copy on your

computer still exists and is accessible to you unless you choose to delete

it from your computer.

If you want to back up a folder after you stop synchronizing it, you must select it

again for backup.
