Backing up hidden folders eg appdata

Thread needs solution

How to backup hidden folders using File Backup in TIH 2012?

I have made appdata visible in Explorer, and removed the exclusion of hidden and system folders in ATIH. Appdata does not show in the folder selection pane.

Be sure to have Windows display protected system files as well as hidden and system files. See attached file.

Many thanks James, I think you have led me to the solution. Changing the 'display protected system files' did not seem to work, but suggested it might be something to do with permissions. I was running ATIH from my user account, entering admin password to launch it. I assumed admin permissions would then be applied by the program. When I run ATIH from my admin acount, all is well and the system files like Appdata show up in the selection pane.
