I have a client that is using server 2008 with windows 7 pro x64 client machines. There are a couple of users that work from home offices and are using offline files to make sure they have the needed files when they're on the road. One of the users had one of their mapped drive "disappear", which also happened to be the drive set for offline file sync. The client is saying that he's made changes to several files and they have not been synced to their server. I was able to verify the existence of the files on the server by checking in the sync manager and checking the offline files that are on the system and they are present.
All the above leads to the question I have. If I recreate the drive mapping, will that somehow affect the offline cache or will the sync center realize that it's already been synced in the past and simply "resume" the process? I can't take the chance of losing their data so my idea is to backup the offline files prior to recreating the drive mapping and hope all goes well, with the worst case being I have to manually replace the files on the server with the files from the local cache...one at a time.
Has anyone recreated a deleted drive mapping on an offline folder?
