Backing up empty directories/subdirectories

Rule of thumb:

  • Empty directory <vault>/d/XX/YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY/ is important and should not be deleted to maintain integrity of the vault.
  • Empty directory <vault>/d/XX/ could be deleted but you have to make sure that the vault directory is 100% available (e.g., fully synced with a sync client if stored in a cloud storage).

In general, you shouldn’t manually rename/move/delete anything inside the vault directory (except you absolutely know what you’re doing). I just wanted to clear things up from a technical point of view.
