Format of Config File?

After I created a backup archive, I deleted the configuration file by mistake.
I backed-up two users 'Admin' and 'Concierge'.
Can you please advise as the contents of configuration file, the name of the file and where should I put this file?

Thank you in advance.

This file should be located inside "X:\Path_To_Your_Backup\YYYY-MM-DD\Computer_Name" folder. If it is really not there, you can create one at this exact place (or depending to your backup configuration, in the folder where you find folders like "User_Name_1", "User_Name_X", "PUBLIC".

Here is how the folders structure should look like :

X:\
|__[PATH_TO_YOUR_BACKUP]
   |__[YYYY-MM-DD]
      |__[COMPUTER_NAME]
         |
         |__[ADMIN]
         |  |__[archive]
         |
         |__[CONCIERGE]
         |  |__[archive]
         |
         |__[PUBLIC] (if you backed up ublic stuff)
         |  |__[archive]
         |
         |__Backup.conf

Here is a Backup.conf file content example :

[ADMIN]
ArchivePath=ADMIN\archive

[CONCIERGE]
ArchivePath=CONCIERGE\archive

[PUBLIC]
ArchivePath=PUBLIC\archive

Create this using notepad and save it as "Backup.conf". Beware of file extensions. You'd better make your explorer show known extensions, so, if you make a "Backup.conf.txt" file instead, you could easily rename it.
