SyncBackPro (commercial) • Rolling Copies?

$
0
0
Is there a way to create "X" rolling mirrored copies. I.e.

A rolling #3 mirrored copies would look like this:

BackupFolders/1
BackupFolders/2
BackupFolders/3

Where the last time the profile was run, it would be in 1, second to last time run, it would be in 2, third to last time run would be in 3 etc. Next time profile is run, 3 would be deleted, 2 would go to 3, 1, would go to 2, and the new run would be in 1.

The closest I have found is using \%DAYOFWEEKNAME%\ at end of source of a mirror.

For example D:\BackupFolders\%DAYOFWEEKNAME%\
Would create

BackupFolders\Mon
BackupFolders\Tue
BackupFolders\Wed
BackupFolders\Thu
etc

Is there a way to do rolling say
For example D:\BackupFolders\%ROLLBACKUP3%\
to do 3 rolling backups?

Thanks

Here is a batch file that I wrote years ago to keep rolling copies of Acronis image file backups. This keeps 18 days and because it's using 'move' commands vs. copy it takes just a few moments to run on an external drive, moving 200+ Gb of backup image files prior to running an Acronis image backup of my pc. My pc is either partitioned into separate drives or have physically different drives for the boot & data drives. I use Acronis to make an image backup of the boot drive and I use SyncBackPro to mirror my data to external drives and the cloud. I'm sure there are people that can script this better but this has worked well for me. Please feel free to modify it for your own purposes.

Yeah, does this free version support "do not run between the hours" I have syncB running every 30 minutes during the day. But no need for this over the night. So I'm new, exploring the modifications you can make but not sure I've found this option. Thanks ! jack ":-Dx :hiding:

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Synchronizing Dropbox Business Shared Folders

Hi 2BS,

i want to create Backups from Dropbox Business shared folders, which means that these folders are not managed in the Dropbox Business Web Backend, instead they are created by anyone in the company and this person usually decides who else can get access to it. We have a couple of these folders. I manually added the dropbox user that we use for the backups to these shared folders. But this has not have any effect: In SyncBackPro, i cannot see these folders.

Can you tell what i am doing wrong?

Thanks for your support!

Hi,

Sorry, we haven’t tested with Dropbox Business shared folders. However, SyncBackPro works with Dropbox Personal shared folder, if that folder is visible in the Files section:

1.First, you need to explicitly share the folder/file with a person or group (by entering their email addresses)
2.An email will be sent to them with a link to the shared file or folder
3.They need to click on the link and manually add the folder to their file list to backup files to/from it to destination

Thank you

SyncBackPro (commercial) • FIles Changes Not Being Detected

$

I already opened a ticket for this problem, but I'd like to see if the community has any answers.

I recently made a profile on SyncBackPro to mirror my music folder to my android phone (SyncBack Touch). It can properly detect when new songs are added to the source and will mirror those to the SyncBack Touch device. However, it is not detecting other changes such as files that have been removed from the source or files whose tags (e.g. artist, album, title, etc.) have been changed on the source. I set up the profile so that it would do all these things. Unfortunately, I cannot attach the .sps profile.


I can see that SyncBackPro thinks those files still exist on the source when I open the "choose sub-directories and files" window. When I view my music folder on Windows those files are non-existent. Please see the screenshots attached below.


I tried to "Clean Up", I tried clearing the log files, and I tried ticking the option in the profile under "Compare Options" that says "Use slower but more reliable method of file change detection". None were successful.


Windows 10
SyncBackPro V8.3.6.0
Android 9


How can I fix this?

I'm using the evaluation version. Things start off ok and then for no reason the next backup copies every file across (all 134 gig!). This happens when backing up to Google drive, Microsoft's cloud, and when the destination is just another folder on the disc. The source disc is an external disc btw!

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Move & remove new folder from source

$

I have a custom profile setup to move files from source to destination. It works fine, except, it doesn't delete the folder that it is moving to the destination.

Source d:\Test\
Destination F:\Test\

If I put a folder in source which has files in it, I want the profile to move the folder and files into the destination and then remove the folder and files in the source. My profile moves everything OK but the base folder is not deleted.

example: Add a folder (NEWFOLDER) with 1 file (file.txt) to source

Source d:\Test\NEWFOLDER\file.txt
Destination F:\Test\

run profile

desired:
Source d:\Test\
Destination F:\Test\NEWFOLDER\file.txt

But what happens

Source d:\Test\NEWFOLDER\
Destination F:\Test\NEWFOLDER\file.txt

ie. the folder NEWFOLDER is not deleted from the source.

How can I update my profile to delete the folder from source but not delete the existing folder (Test).

Thanks

Create Mirror profile real copies, MOVING old destination files to a separate folder.

I asked this question before on Support, but the feature still is not available on any version yet.
I want to make mirrors (up to the bit) from source to destination, for local backup profiles.

However, I want old items in destination not deleted by moving to recycle bin, neither deleted ‘for ever’.
It would be more convenient to MOVE the obsolete folders/files to a separate ‘syncback recycling’ location, where they could be inspected before final delete, all grouped as related to that conditional mirror profile.
The present versions offer the option of conditional ‘mirrors’ keeping old files for some defined days, but remaining into the same destination. This creates confusion when comparing source an destination. It is a mirror, but actually not a mirror. Inspecting a report is not practical either.

Say if I'm backing up this folder...

D:\programming

But within that folder, I have many .git folders that I don't want sync'd to my NAS. How do add a filter to exclude .git folders regardless of how nested the folder may be. I don't want to go into each folder individually.
