Cannot Find Some Folders When Creating Backup

Tutorial

I am running TI 2021 Build 39287 and this forum seems the closest that I can find. I am trying to create a simple backup of my Profile folder (Thunderbird) located in C:/Users/UserID/AppData. When I search for this file when setting up my backup many of the folders (including AppData) simple don't show up. 

This must be something simple - what could I possibly be doing wrong here. I am a very light duty user - so user error is likely. 

Thanks.

David, Acronis follows the rules set for viewing hidden / system files & folders as for Explorer, so in this case you need to change this option in the Explorer settings.

Steve, thanks for the response. I can see the files in Explorer and have set Options to show the hidden files. It has been that way for forever (WRT this computer, anyway). 

But after a half dozen restarts of Acronis yesterday, suddenly today I can see the target folder. I have no idea why, but it now works. 

Thanks for the response and help.
