SyncBackPro (commercial) • Re: Run SyncBackup Pro same profiles from multiple users

By default, profiles are user-specific (likewise, logs and similar), for security (embedded passwords, sensitive filenames, etc). See this KB article for other options

http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowle ... are-stored

Note that (as per last para) Schedules in recent versions of Windows (Vista-onward) must be user-specific by the nature of the way they are stored, so that if user-X Schedules a profile, user-Y won't see that (though he will be able to see the resulting logs if you changed the log-storage to common as suggested). The Scheduled Task will still work/trigger the profile, it's just that the fact it is Scheduled at all won't be visible to user-Y.

What is your SyncBackPro version?

Something may be happening during the run process which may have caused SyncBackPro to give up (possibly after a set number of retries) but we can't tell until debug logs from a run is examined, but this would depend on the Pro version you are currently using, as we only provide technical support for current (V7) SyncBackSE/Pro users.

4545 files copied, but 3832 did not. I get this message in red on the report on hundreds of files that did not copy.

(The specified path is invalid)

What am I doing wrong and how can it be corrected so SB will copy without error? Thanks, victor

I have upgraded SynchBackFree several times over the last few years. Never had a problem retaining the profile. Today I upgraded to 7.3.1.12 on two PCs. One PC is fine; the other has no existing profile showing. Can you help me find it? Thanks.

SyncBackSE (commercial) • Syncing multiple sources and dealing with deleted files

April 8, 2015, 10:20 pm

I have 5 servers and I'm going to be mirroring a repo of ~30000 files across them. I want people to be able to add/delete/rename files on their local server and have the changes synced nightly. I'm expecting about 200 changes/day.

I have everything set up and it's working nicely until we get to file deletions. I can't seem to come up with a configuration where deletions (and also renames obviously) get propagated properly.

Right now I have a master repo that no one writes to but me. Every night I pull changes from each server to master:

File only on remote: copy to master
File only on master: delete from master
File conflict: newer file overwrites older
File case/attr changed: copy to master (overwrite)
Ignore any files that were created in the last hour

And then push everything back out:

File only on remote: ignore
File only on master: copy to remote
File conflict: copy to remote (overwrite)
File case/attr changed: copy to remote (overwrite)

So, server 1 deletes a file. I pull from server 1, it deletes the file from master. I pull from server 2, it adds the file back. #-o

I've played around with different configurations for most of the day today. Does anyone know a way to make this work?

Hi, please state the full version of SyncBackFree you are currently using?

Do note that the error message 'The specified path is invalid' is a Windows error (SyncBack is just reporting it) - see error 161 here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx

Can you provide more details as to what files are you copying, where your Source/Destination are, example strings of the path/file that are error-ing and the full error message? Right now, the information provided is limited so it's hard to speculate further.

Suggest provide screenshots of your main log report page as well as the error-ing page of the log here. Please do not resize the screenshots and make sure all the relevant information are fully shown (scroll bars do not work in screenshots). Full screen capture is the best.

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Re: Lost Profile on Upgrade

Hi, sorry but if the profile is not showing, chances are it's lost if you did you performed a manual backup or Export function of the profiles before the upgrade took place.

Did you un-install the older version and installed the newer version? Or you previously installed the older version on a non-default directory and/or installed the current version in a different location that is different from the previous install, then there is a chance that the newer SyncBackFree can't locate your previous profiles (for example, V3, etc)? In the former case, un-installation/re-installation will cause you to lose your profiles, which is why we always recommend to users to install 'over the top' without un-installing first.

Since SyncBackFree does not come with an automatic profile backup feature (only available in SE/Pro), it is up to the users to make a copy of the profiles and store them away in case of disasters.

SyncBackSE (commercial) • Sync New Files Only?

Hi,
I'm using Syncback SE V6. I would like to use it to populate a mirror directory, but only with files in the primary directory later than a certain date. I have had a look but there isn't any filter option which uses file date.

Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Andrew

Since each of your profiles are configured with "File only on remote: copy to master" it is doing exactly that - Remote Server 2 contains the file while the Master Server does not so it copies the file across. Bear in mind that each profile works independently of one another and it's not 'aware' of other profiles nor what their rules are - they only work with the scope of the rules as configured within each of them.

Also, bear in mind that Backup/Mirroring doesn't support Renaming. Only a SmartSync profile has a chance to replicate renames/moves by performing renaming/moving action (assuming the target system permits that). A Backup and/or Mirror profile can also replicate the new structure, but only by 'deleting old / re-copying new'.

Normally I would propose a multi-way plan which consists of multiple SmartSync profiles all running in strict sequential order in order to replicate all the changes between devices, but your rules consists of certain aspects that may not satisfy a typical SmartSync profile...

In a default SmartSync profile, file changes/deletion/creations are synced both ways. However, in your case, some of your rules represent a Mirror-type of profile in that you want changes made 1-way/1-direction only most of the time. So I'm not sure if this method will work for you or not. This is because if I introduce the multi-way sync plan, it would mean the file changes/deletions/creations on either side will be replicated to the other side, yet in your case, you clearly want a control in how files are copied.

If other users have a better suggestion, they are welcome to reply.

Have you checked out:

Modify > Expert > Compare Options > Date & Time

settings page, where there is an option to:

Ignore files that [have/have not]
been modified [within the last] XX [seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years] OR [since] [calender date][calender time]

By tweaking the settings [have/have not] in combination with [within the last/since], you would be able to set conditions to ignore (or only look for) files that were (or not) modified within a certain date range, e.g. within the last x days, or since January 1st 2004 (example).

Additional note about Days setting - Fractional days do not count. For example, if a file was modified 2 days, 13 hours, 31 minutes, and 32 seconds ago, and you want to ignore files that have been modified within the last 2 days, then it will ignore the file, i.e. the hours, minutes, and seconds are not used in the comparison.

You could also get fine-grained control by setting the Ignore value to [hours or minutes] instead. For example, [360 hours or 12600 minutes.]

Bear in mind that the field value only accepts ranges of 0 - 65535 units.

Please take some time to review the information in the contextual Help file (at the Date & Time settings page, press F1 or click on the Help button).

Since Amazon Cloud drive is offering unlimited storage for $60/year - I thought I would try SBP to backup my stuff. I was able to successfully backup about 140GB of data over the course of a few days.

When I went to run a mirror update today - I am getting this "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request".

I tried to re-authorize which went fine but had no effect on the issue. I am able to login and see my files online.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am assuming you are referring to the free version of OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive). The current REST API, which SyncBackPro is using, does not allow semicolons (;) in filenames.


A file name must not start or end with '.', and must not contain any of the following characters: '\', '/', ':', ';', '*', '<', '>', '|', '?'


Thanks,

I have a SyncBackSE 7.3.1.12 profile set to run after MS Outlook stops, to backup the PST file from my Win7/64 PC's Documents folder to a NAS drive.
It does not run when I close Outlook.
(Other SyncbackSE profiles do run to the same NAS; I am running Norton AV.)

I am not using Copernicus or Google's Desktop Search.

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Re: FTP Profiles

Thank you for all the details... much appreciated.

I finally had time to work more with SyncBackFree. I updated to the latest current release, v7.3.1.12, before experimenting.

I created a brand new Backup profile. I told SyncBack that the Source was the FTP server, and that the destination was a hard drive. I then entered the FTP parameters and the hard drive folder location. I performed the FTP test, which succeeded. I didn't change any profile options.

SyncBack then offered to perform a simulated run. I agreed, and after a while, the Differences window appeared. The FTP was on the right, and the hard drive was on the left, even though I specified the opposite. ](*,)

I confirmed that the Profile Type was still set as Backup (and not Custom), but the panes still are backwards. I then ran the profile, and the panes were still backwards.

Am I doing something wrong?

SyncBackPro (commercial) • What exactly does this error mean?

Using SBP to carry out three nightly jobs.

Some history:

1. These jobs were imported from SyncBack SE and seem to work perfectly when run manually.
2. These jobs were running under my local user account but due to password policy - I would need to change my password every 30 days. Of course I would always forget to change it for the Syncback job schedules and the jobs would fail.
3. So this past Friday - I created a local admin acct (windows 7) called SyncBackAdmin and assigned this local account as the "user" to run as. The intent to get my user acct as far away from these jobs as possible and run them under an account whose password will never change.

Well - first "scheduled" run was set for last night - and when I checked the app today - I see an odd message under the Last Scheduled Run Error column that says "The Profile Name Given Does Not Exist (FFFFF97)

SyncBack Pro Error.png


What does this mean? And why does the job run just fine manually?

Appreciate an update.

Cheers,

VP
