SyncBackPro (commercial) • RunBeforeFolderCompare Does not skip requested Folders

May 14, 2019, 1:33 pm

Hello, I am trying to skip folders that contain a specific file. I am using the RunBeforeFolderCompare hook, however no matter what I set the Skip variable to, the folder is never skipped. My simple script is below, the hook is called as I would expect, but setting Skip doesn't do anything. Even this minimal case doesn't seem to change the result:

CODE: 

Procedure RunBeforeFolderCompare(Foldername; var Skip);begin    Skip := True;end
There are no examples using this hook, am I using it correctly?

Thank you for your help.

CODE: 

//// Ignore all files containing a flag file.// SBLang=Pascal//Function Description(var ScriptType);begin  Result := 'Ignore folders containing a flag file.';  ScriptType := SCRIPTTYPE_RUN;End;Procedure RunBeforeFolderCompare(Foldername; var Skip);begin     if SBRunning.LeftFileExists(Foldername + '.nobackup') then     begin          // ShowMessage('I will skip ' + Foldername);          Skip := True;     endEnd;

(side note: you cannot search the forum for the string "RunBeforeFolderCompare", it says the word is too common!)

I asked support, but they said they do not offer any scripting support whatsoever.

Hello, I am trying to skip folders that contain a specific file. I am using the RunBeforeFolderCompare hook, however no matter what I set the Skip variable to, the folder is never skipped.
I think I have a solution, I guess I'm the only person using this feature as there are zero hits anywhere for this hook :lol:

This seems to do what I want so far, maybe it will give a hint to anyone searching in future.

Please note, I'm a C programmer, I'm haven't written any Pascal since college... so I'm sure this is sub-optimal (1 indexed strings, wtf!)

CODE: 

// // Ignore all files containing a flag file.// SBLang=Pascal//function Description(var ScriptType);begin  Result := 'Ignore folders containing a flag file.';  ScriptType := SCRIPTTYPE_RUN;end // If passed a file, return the containing directory.// If passed a directory, return the parent directory.function ParentDirectory(FileName);begin     Result := FileName;     // Check for root directory.     if Result = '\' then        Exit;     // Remove a character until we hit a directory separator.     repeat           Result := Copy(Result, 1, Length(Result) - 1);     until Result[Length(Result)] = '\';endprocedure RunBeforeFolderCompare(FolderName; var Skip);begin     // Check if this directory contains the flag file,     // or any parent directory up until the root directory.     repeat          if SBRunning.LeftFileExists(FolderName + '.nobackup') then             Skip := True;          FolderName := ParentDirectory(FolderName);     until FolderName = '\';endprocedure RunBeforeFileCompare(FileName; var Skip);    var FolderName;begin     // Find the name of the directory containing this file.     FolderName := ParentDirectory(FileName);     // Check if the containing directory has the flag file,     // or any parent directory up until the root directory.     repeat          if SBRunning.LeftFileExists(FolderName + '.nobackup') then             Skip := True;          FolderName := ParentDirectory(FolderName);     until FolderName = '\';end

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Run Group Profil when drive is attached not working properly

Hi,

I have a a group profile with several profiles to back up certain files to an external usb ssd that I use to sync these folders between PC, laptop and tablet. The group profile is set to run when the SSD disk with the corresponding label is inserted into drive S: . However this results in a mess since only one or two profiles run properly and the others are aborted. This happens on all machines. Profiles are not set to run in parallel and no single profile has a trigger to start when something happens. Please see this screencapture:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YRkjrPDmOARqEor2AKBoqVMdXWwrrcd4/view?usp=sharing

Running the group profile manually is working out like it is supposed to as you can see here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QvUoMDWs5-5D9XIKKRfEOMNNCt3GCvjB/view?usp=sharing

Any ideas what the problem could be? It's quite annoying since it takes away to have these routines running in the background without much attention.

Cheers
Oliver

I seem to have an issue where SBP is freezing while doing a backup to a USB connected drive that I have used many times. It gets to a certain point in the backup process where it says "Backup name : Removable (Folders): Loading results... xx,xxx". It sits there forever. It never goes past that point. The bar will just cycle left to right forever.

I have rebooted, replugged the drive, etc. No joy. Any ideas?

SyncBackSE (commercial) • How to open a .bwt archive when profile do not exist anymore

Hi,
I am a very long time user of SyncBack and this is the first time I have a question to ask to the community.
The problem is that I have archive/backup files compressed with Burrows Wheeler algorithm (.bwt file extension).
The profile which make these files is gone.
But I would like to open some of these files to recover a specific file inside.
Synback is officially the only application which can do that, but how to create a profile to restore the content of these files ??
Any help would be very much appreciated
Cheers,
Frederic

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Limit bandwitdh usage not working properly

May 27, 2019, 12:35 pm

Hi,

We've been using SBP for some time now, but recently I've been using it to copy new large VM's to our external locations.
These locations have limited bandwith, so I thought of using the settings Copy/Delete-->Advanced-->Limit bandwidth usage to:...

I have set this at 512KBps, so that I can use several connections concurrent with our 30MBps internetconnection.
Though I am seeing quite some weird stuff now....
SBP is saying it is copying the file with 512KBps, but when I check the windows networkcard, it is showing a 10 !! times more usage.
When I check our monitoring on our internetconnection, when I am using 3 concurrent 512KBps connections(according to SBP) it is actually using 5MBps per connection!
In the beginning this caused some problems, because I was copying like 6 concurrent connections(6x 512KBps = 3MBps), but it actually used our full bandwidth, which caused a problem in our VoIP-connections....

Do more people have this kind of problem? Is this a SBP problem or a Windows problem?
I would like some thoughts from here on how to solve this for the future.....

With kind regards,

Equit

SyncBackPro (commercial) • Mapped drives not appearing

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to sync to a remote computer using a VPN (Hamachi, to be specific).

I've mapped the remote drives in Windows. They appear and function properly in File Explorer, but the mapped drives do not appear in SyncBackPro's source or destination windows. When I manually enter the drive letter, SBP says the drives do not exist, when in fact they do.

Why is this happening?

Can some genius out there please tell me how in this galaxy do I do something like this...

When backup profile completes:
On BACKUP SUCCESS - Call/Open/Get web page like https://website.com/backupsuccess.php
On BACKUP FAIL - Call/Open/Get web page like https://website.com/backupfail.php

I just need a script maybe or some other way of just calling those web pages.
Just need to touch the pages. NOT view them. So that I can log a pass or fail of the current backup to that php service.

I worked out I can call a batch file that does a 'curl' web page open but that is only if the profile backup is a success.
However how can you get a batch file to read if %PROFILEFAILED% is 1 or 0
Anyone??

The manual says this...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/help/index.html?commandlineparameters.htm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run after profile: To have a program run after the profile has finished,enable the Run after profile checkbox and type the name into the edit-box or click the folder icon next to it. You can use the same variables and switches as per the Run Before program.

Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced many restrictions on how programs can react to and handle the shutdown or restart of a computer. Due to these restrictions Run Before and Run After programs will silently fail and not even start if the profile is set to run on shutdown/logoff and the computer is shutdown or restarted (the programs will still be run as per normal if its a logoff).

The special variable %PROFILEFAILED% can be used to pass the result of the profile run. If the value is 1 (one) then the profile failed (or was aborted), if the value is 0 (zero) then the profile run was a success.
