hello-
couple questions, here's my scenario: I have a user that is at two different locations, and I sync his data to my server at my office. The problem I run into is when he makes changes to his Favorites and decides some of them are wrong and wants the changes undone- I can only go back to the backup of the night before, which means I lose some of the changes he wants to keep. In my sync program there is a log of changes, but my interaction with him is little and I can't really ask him which changes he wants to keep or reverse. This part won't change either.
So I'm wondering what the best way is to restore his Favorites, maybe there's a way to create/save a copy (either local or on the server via VPN) after every change to the Favorites folder, with a time and date stamp? This part has been a thorn in my side for two years now!! And I really need to come up with a better solution than restoring from backup because he loses changes he wants to keep. I sync the Favorites every couple hours, and back up every night. If there's a way I can have a version of that folder after every change, and somehow be able to show him for an approval, I think that would solve my problem.
Basically he is now making changes much more often to his Favorites. He also complains that he'll add or delete bookmarks, and soon after they will be in a different order, probably alphabetical. Then when I restore from backup, it switches around the order. That's about all the detail I have on that. Is there some way to turn off a setting that IE uses to create the order, so that the order will stay the same if I replace the Favorites folder, or add/remove bookmarks from it?
Any tips are much appreciated. thanks!
