I'd like to synchronise the data from a local drive to the
network drive. Of course, I can do it but do not get an
option to choose where the offline file location would be.

How can i choose where the offline data will be stored? I,
ideally want to store it in another drive on the local
machine.

Thanks in advance..

You will need the recourse kit tool cachemov.exe to do this.

Best regards

Hi

It looks like this is a workaround if you don't have the cachemov utility
available:

Hello:

The Resource Kit is not required to relocate the Client Side Cache folder.

If your Windows 2000 (or XP) partition is NTFS, try something like this:

1) Boot into Safe Mode and delete the contents of the CSC folder.

2) While still in Safe Mode, create a reparse point (junction) in the
%SystemRoot%\CSC folder and point it toward another partition or a folder in
another partition. Use the Logical Disk Manager (Computer
Management\Storage\Disk Management) to mount a partition or SysInternals
Junction
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction) to
mount a folder.

This works in Windows 2000, and should in Windows XP (I haven't tested it,
however).

Hope this helps.
