SyncBackPro (commercial) • Re: IP Address Variable

Hi, sorry, there's no variable to get the IP address of a destination share. You could possibly create a script to do that. See the IncVarEx script for an example.

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Re: Prompt for variable value on profile start

Hi, you can pass the source and/or destination directories to use via the command line (see -source and -dest in the Command Line Parameters section of the help file). So one option would be to create a batch file that prompts you and then runs SyncBackPro using those supplied directories:

CODE: 

@echo offset /p source="Enter source directory: "set /p dest="Enter destination directory: ""C:\Program Files\2BrightSparks\SyncBackPro\SyncBackPro.exe" -source %source% -dest %dest% myprofile
Note the above assume you are using 64-bit SyncBackPro and that your profile is called myprofle (change as appropriate). Save it to a batch file, e.g. myprofile.bat, on your desktop. Then just double-click it to run it and be prompted for the directories.

Hi, just add them to your filters for the profile:

- Modify your profile
- Click the Change Filter button
- The Filters window appears. On the right (files/folders NOT to copy), click Add and type in *\.Spotlight-V100\
- Repeat the above step to add *\.Trashes\
- Note that you need that trailing slash as it's a folder, not a file.
- The asterisk at the beginning means it applies to all folders and not just the root folder.

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Re: backup only files, not folders

Hi, you can't just copy all the files to a single folder. That's not supported. The files must remain in their appropriate folder in the destination.

However, if you're asking to just copy the PDF files from the source folder, and not in any sub-folders, then just remove the *\ as that is telling SyncBack to also copy all folders. So for the filters, you'd have no entries for "Files/folders NOT to copy" and just \*.pdf in the "Files/folders to copy". In the File & Folders Selection window you may as well also enable the option "Do not use selections".

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Is backup traffic thru SyncBackTouch routed thru SyncBackPro if set to back up to Backblaze?

I have been using SyncBackPro for a server backup for several years. But recently Crashplan pulled their support and we've had to move to Duplicati + Backblaze for our end user backups.

I was doing server maintenance & I really like the SyncBackPro + SyncBackTouch interface as I can control file selections / job run times all from a central server. What I need to know though is if all customers (we have about 50) would be routing all backup traffic thru my internet connection. Or if it would be streamed directly from remote device to Backblaze with SyncBackPro really being just more of a management tool.

Hi,

Please note that in SyncBackPro if you have selected a non-standard resource (FTP, Cloud, SyncBack Touch, MTP, Compression, Encryption etc.,) on one side (Source/Destination) then you can only select standard resources (local drive or network path) on the other side.

You can refer to this KB article for more details:

http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowledgebase/articles/384900-source-and-destination-are-reversed

Therefore, if your Source is SyncBack Touch, then you cannot select cloud on the other side (that means it's not possible to directly copy files from SyncBack Touch to BackBlaze).

However, a possible workaround for this issue is to create 2 profiles in SyncBackPro:

1. Create a Profile to copy files from SyncBack Touch to a temporary folder on the local drive.
2. Create a second Profile to copy files from temporary folder to BackBlaze.
3. Create a Group and add the above two profiles as member profiles to the group, so that when the Group is run the profiles will run in a sequence.

Thanks,
Kostas

SyncBackFree (freeware) • Syncback wont stay pinned to start menu

I just recently updated to the latest version of Syncback portable. I have Syncback pinned to the start menu. When I exit Syncback, it immediately disappears from the start menu. Also, even when I repin it, it still never shows up in the Start menu index area to the left of the tiles.

I'd also like to say, respectfully, that this site is a little difficult to navigate. Perhaps that is by design?

If you go to help and support page, the is no link back to the main page, or the Forum.

Apparently, the login information required for the help and support page is different than it is elsewhere, like the forum. Unlike for the forum, I am asked for an email. My email, which is in my profile, is not recognized in the login process

There is a very circuitous route to the portable downloads. I can't imagine how a newcomer would ever find them or even know they exist.

Finally, why don't you post the current version and date on the home page? I feel like I have to hunt that info down.

Thanks

SyncBackFree (freeware) • "Clean Up" not doing its job

December 18, 2018, 10:33 am

creating new profile.

Selecting folders I want copied.
Spot a folder that shouldn't be there. Delete it.
Syncback's display still shows it.
Try "Clean Up". No effect.
Exit Syncback to force a "refresh"
Back in, Syncback's display still shows deleted folder.
Try "Clean Up". Still No effect.

I should point out that it's not causing a major issue. I can just remove the tick from the relevant folder and syncback won't waste time trying to copy it. But it just struck me as odd that something which should be as simple as a "refresh" isn't working.

Suggestions?

SyncBackSE (commercial) • Virtual and Network drives

I 'd like to backup the content of a virtual drive (o:), created by Cryptomator, or even a simple mapped network drive. When I create a new profile, the drive is not visible in the file selection dialog. If I enter the path manually (like O:\), I get an error stating "Destination drive O: does not exist". The disk O: is visible from the Windows Explorer.
Any clue?

Interestingly, when I use a mapped drive, it is not visible. But if I use the UNC path (\\192.168.1.x\myshare), then it is visible. Even though the mapped drive uses the exact same path...

Hi ,just tried it here with Pro 8.5.97.0 and latest beta 8.5.110.0 and the command is visible at foot of Preferences menu provided at least one profile is running or waiting for user input (the command is not visible if program is idle / no profiles running, which has always been the case)

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Filters and subdirectories

I do use filters to select subdirectories to include in the profile. The subdirectory names are declared as e.g. "/EG-*/". But Syncbackpro (portable mode) dosn't make use of the the filters automatically at each run. Is this normal or a bug? If a subdirectory name is changing, e.g. from "/EG-21/" to "/EG-22/" Syncbackpro should includes the new subdirectory automatically in my opinion.

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Can SyncBackPro sync w/out moving to a container

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing SBP and wanted to know if it can sync files to a backup drive without them having to go into a container file?

I read the support docs, and I couldn't tell. I saw that I could create container files, but I want to be able to backup to an external disk or memory card and be able to access those files through Windows Explorer either on the computer that create them or a different computer that probably won't have SBP on it.

Thanks!

Ideas and general discussion • home and office

December 20, 2018, 10:11 pm

I’m wondering which version of SyncBack I need to purchase (I've used the free version for many years).

I have a specific network folder at the office in which I do all my work while I’m there, and a laptop and external drive that I bring home. On some days I work from home. My office network folder has a fairly simple directory structure, which I have duplicated on my external backup drive. When I’m at home I work directly with the files and folders in my external drive.

At the beginning of each day at the office, I’d like to sync (not sure if I’m using the right backup type here) any changes I might have made to my external drive's files and folders (create, duplicate, delete, move) while at home, with my network folder.

At the end of the day at the office, I’d like to sync any changes I made to my network files and folders, with my external drive.

My thinking is that if I forget to sync in the morning and sync later in the day after I have made changes to the network files and folders (destination), SyncBack Pro would ask me to confirm which files or folders to keep or discard.

I’m not sure if the scheme I have described is the most logical for what I need. Any suggestions to improve it would be greatly appreciated. Basically I want the files to reside in two locations, and the ability to work on those files in two locations.

Thanks,
Patrick

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Differential/Incremental to a different destination?

I understand that I can save differential/incremental backups to a different folder. But would it be possible to save them to a different destional?

I would make full backups locally and physically move them to another location (since they are are several terabytes in size), but I would make daily incremental backups to the cloud since they would be much smaller.

Would it be possible with syncback? Maybe not through the options, but then uploading to the cloud the differential folders? Any ideas?

Maybe an option to write the full backup to NULL (Full backups are already begin done through another profile) so I would only upload to the cloud the differentials?

I'm running SyncBackSE V8.5.97.0 and have encountered this problem. In my case, restarting the computer failed to fix it, (i.e the up-down arrows are still greyed out) so I'm currently unable to change the order of profiles.
