[quote="r0lZ"]OK, thanks for the clarification.

But I have another question, indirectly related to the backup method.

I have noticed that when a registry key is deleted by a sandboxed program, the key remains in the unsandboxed registry (that's normal) and is simply emptied in the sandboxed version of the same key.  I suppose that the sandboxed version takes precedence, and that the original values are hidden to the sandboxed applications.  Right?

Thus my question: does Sandboxie use a similar method to hide deleted files and folders to the sandboxed applications?

For example, let's say "fileA" and "fileB" exists in "directoryD" outside the sandbox.  There are no other files in the directory.  If a sandboxed program deletes "fileA" and "fileB", or deletes completely "directoryD", those files should not be accessible any more   But of course, Sandboxie cannot delete the original files.  So, how does it hide them?  Is it sufficient to create an empty mirror of "directoryD" in the sandbox?  In other words, the question is: is it important to keep the empty directories (and possibly the empty files) in the archive?

This question is important to know if ye can use the option of the archiver that skips the empty directories, and doesn't add them in the archive, and if we can safely delete the empty files before doing the backup.[/quote]
