SyncBackFree (freeware) • differences

$

0
Hi there!
I have download and start using Syncback free and i have a question.
I have a folder with all my photos and this is the folder witch i would like to have as backup.
What is the differences between (in types) Backup and Mirror?
I would like any changes i made in the source folder to happen and in the destination.
In both backup and mirron i found i can do that. For example if i delete a file or a folder in source i would like to delete from destination also.
This can be done and in backup and in mirror.
Is there a difference that i didn't understand? What is the best way to do that? With backup or with mirror?

Thanks for helping

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Sync against compressed files broken?

$

I'm synching files on Onedrive folder (encrypted, compressed) (no direct Cloud Sync) to an internal folder (no compression, no encryption).

With current Release 8.5.33 and current beta 5.5.43 ist is not possible anymore to synch against encrypted and comressed files.

Even a new folder and file on the internal Folder is compressed and encrypted by SyncbackPro to the Onedrive Folder but afterwards SBP does not recognize the file on Onedrive and deletes the internal file and folder in a new run.

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Skipped 18, Errors 8

$

I have 2 backup issues with one particular profile.

1) 18 files are skipped. The same ones every time. The explanation is "In Both. File sizes same." However, my settings are "Source overwrites destination always"

2) I don't know if this is the right place to bring up the second issue, but maybe I can get some advice? I moved my Indexing folder location ff my system drive to the My Documents, which is on a separate partition. The scan results with "Scan failed (5): Access is denied".

So it looks like I cant backup or restore these files? I'm mostly curious about what I would have to do in the case I had to restore that My Documents folder. Rebuilding that Index is a time consuming exercise that I would like to avoid.

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Backups to Google Drive are strangely slow

$

Hi there,

I was hoping to use Google Drive as an offsite backup solution for my home media server that is about 12TB in size.

I have noticed that when backing up via SyncBack Pro 7.6.64.0 the upload is incredibly slow, or at least much slower than uploading directly to Google Drive.

Is there a way of speeding up this process? I had thought to manually upload some of this content from my office where there is a much faster fibre line and sending it straight to Google Drive, however I found that when trying to synchronise with SyncBack Pro at home, despite the file sizes matching it wanted to overwrite the content. Is this a limitation I won't be able to work around?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I took another look at uploading some content directly and then seeing what happens when SyncBack pro wants to back up the same content.

The collisions appear to be the creation and modification dates (Google drive is assigning new dates once the files upload) and also attributes, as all of my files have an A marked next to them, whereas the Drive versions do not. Is there a way to have SyncBack pro ignore just dates and attributes?

Hi

I am currently setting up SyncBackFree on my computer, and I want to use the domain controller administrator account to run the profile on a schedule and not the local account. Is this possible?

Look again at the 'case' for which you have chosen the option "Source overwrites destination always" - take note of the conditions for which this Action will be executed (the Help has a longer, better-worded version - "When there is a file (with the same name and in the same directory) that is both in the source and the destination but their contents [or properties] are not the same")

Your situation ('files exist on each side and they match') is not covered by this setting because the files are the same (insofar as you have told SB to compare/crosscheck). There is no user-definable setting for 'what to do if corresponding files on each side match', because that Action is hardwired as 'Skip' (as correctly performed/logged).

There is no per-file setting that amounts to 'files are the same each side: copy anyway', because
a) Why would you want to? Given that
b) it would represent a pointless performance hit


I'm not clear which folder you have moved off your system-drive but if this folder is part of the system, you may have upset Windows when you did so. There is a KB article about 'Access Denied' but it is likely not something anyone can help you with remotely (it is problematic enough when you can see the various security settings, impossible when you cannot). You may need to seek specialist local assistance.

If you set a Backup to start deleting orphan files on your Destination, it becomes a Mirror (and is displayed in the main UI as such).

Similarly, if you set a Mirror to stop deleting orphan files on the Destination it becomes a Backup (and is displayed as such)


Note: make sure you have the latest version of SyncBackFree (v8.5.43.0) as I seem to remember there was a bug in this respect recently that sometimes affected the automatic re-labelling of the profile's Type. I may have remembered wrong about the bug, but it does no harm to have the latest official release installed anyway. Simply install 'over the top' (do not uninstall/re-install, or you may lose your profiles & settings)

Hi,

Please submit a support zip with debug logs of the profile run for further investigation. To do this, enable 'Output debug information' from Preferences menu and run the profile in manual mode (ctrl + R). When the Differences Window is displayed abort the profile run and submit the support zip as per the instructions given here:

http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowle ... ation-file

If your Zip is over 30MB, contact us for alternate instructions, advising the actual size. Do not try to attach to the ticket!

We get random fails on some large files when uploading to AWS s3
- our network has no issues at these times
- file sizes are 20 G and 32G
- sometimes they upload, sometimes they don't. The job runs every two days
- in 30 days we had this error on 11 occasions with 3 files

"Failed to copy from Source : Cloud error 200: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - The list of parts was not in ascending order. Parts must be ordered by part number. (InvalidPartOrder) - Recv 10/04/2018 07:01:47: 27, <?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>

Why should the ordering be effected so frequently? Is there a fix?

Hi,

I have a pretty basic need. I need to keep my G:\ ( backup ) drive in synch with my F:\ ( primary ) drive. These are both external drives that I use to hold data, pictures etc. How do I setup a profile to see when a picture\file\folder gets added, changed or deleted on my F:\ drave and automatically add\changed\deleted on the G:\ drive?

Thanks!

Hi,

Realtime synchronization is only supported in SyncBackPro/SE versions, but not in SyncBackFree. Please read ‘Automatic backup and sync when files change’ article for details on how to enable real-time sync in Pro/SE and the important points to consider when using that option:

http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowle ... les-change

If you do not own a copy of SyncBackPro/SE and wish to test its functions, you are welcome to try our fully functional SyncBack, which we offer a free 30-day evaluation.

http://www.2brightsparks.com/assets/sof ... _Setup.exe

If you do decide to purchase, the serial number will convert the 'trial' to the 'registered' version.

Thank you.

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Random profiles not working

$
0

Hello.

I have various profiles that capture an image and upload it to FTP.

How this works:

* Profiles run every 30 minutes.

* Each profile runs a batch file code to download the image and store it locally. Example code for 6am:

Code:

copy /Y "C:\Program Files\Webcams\Images From During The Day\WeatherCam.jpg" "C:\Program Files\Webcams\Images From During The Day\Upload\0600.jpg"


* Syncback then uploads the file to an FTP destination.

As you can see here, some profiles don't appear to work:

Capture.JPG


This happens daily and could be any profile (it isn't just 6am etc).

However, the log file says it has run successfully:

Capture2.JPG


Is this a bug or something else?

I have checked, and the batch file always downloads the image file correctly - I can see them all locally.

Thanks.

Hi there-I'm still having the aforementioned issue even after trying to apply the "Ignore NTFS junction points (reparse points)" settings suggested.

The error I get is "Failed to prepare OneDrive : The drive ⑭: does not exist!" and the logs don't give any further info.

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Copy All Files Into Single Folder?

$
0
0
When mirroring files with SyncBack, it will typically copy the full directory structure to each file (obviously). Is there a way to configure it to copy all selected files into a single folder on the destination, thus "flattening" the folder hierarchy?

For instance, let's say I set the source path as just "D:\," destination as E:\Example, and use the File & Folder Selection to tick a few individual files:
D:\file1.txt
D:\path1\somefile.txt
D:\path2\anotherfile.txt

Can I configure SyncBack so the result will be:
E:\Example\file1.txt
E:\Example\somefile.txt
E:\Example\anotherfile.txt

(all files are copied, but directly into the destination folder, flattened).

I've searched the docs & scoured the options as best as I could, but so far no dice :/
