Re: Newbie got two questions
Well, and the translation error doesn't worry you at all?
Another point: Yes, I read everywhere that you do not support capital-noncapital detection. From a user point and working with a version 6.4.x I still can not understand why a folder whose name was changed from 'A-team' to 'A-Team' will not get updated via SmartSync...

Re: Slow copying over internet
If changing protocol (FTP to SFTP) improves things, you could also have interference (also monitoring) of the traffic by AV/firewall/router affecting it. Whereas secure traffic isn't, maybe.

Re: Cycle through a list of different sources/destinations

You cannot do it with installable scripting. But you could use a script or batch file with a list of UserNames (as used in Windows) and some code to cycle though it and - for each list-entry - build a Source and/or Destination string which you could then
* call SyncBackPro / name of general-purpose profile (via command-line) while
* passing the Source and/or Destination strings to such a g/p profile using the -source and -dest command-line parameters and the strings your code built as arguments for the parameters.
Help > Search > 'command-line' (without the quotes) > top hit
for more background and syntax. Note that the switches and arguments precede the profile name(s) they will affect
"C:\path to\SyncBackPro.exe" -source "X:\Value1\" -dest "Y:\Value2\" "Name Of Profile"
Note that we don't write bespoke scripts for people, nor provide bespoke assistance in doing so. Other users are welcome to jump in, obviously.

Hello.
I want to know if there is an option to copy/move only the files that are missing in a synchronization job.
Thanks

Is there a way for tasks to run automatically, but only ONCE
Hello.
I want to know how to configure tasks to run automatically, but only once per day. I can't seem to find the option, if there is one.
Thanks.

Re: Cycle through a list of different sources/destinations
Of course, on the face of it you could back up
C:\Users\
(or whatever the path to the parent of the user-named paths is) as your fixed Source and just use X:\User Backups\ (or similar) as your fixed Destination. Provided you (the user Pro is running 'as') have the privileges to access each user's files (which you'll need if 'cycling' anyway), it will simply copy (re-create) all the username-folders on the far side.
But you may know better (there may be things 'under the surface'). For example 'not all users' (though you could de/select those via the 'Choose...' dialog on Simple page)

Set all the Decisions-Files options (or 'the option' if using a Backup or Mirror) that trigger when files exist on both sides to Skip?

Copy and delete: which one first?
Hello,
In case a profile has both files to copy and to delete on destination, which action will be performed first? Will all files to be deleted get deleted before copying the other ones (selected for copy on destination)?
Thanks.

Run a profile only whit failed objects
Hi everybody,
One question,
Is there any way to run a profile, and which only attempt to move files with error?
I.e., I need to pass 5 files. Profile only move 4 and 1 fails by permissions. I correct the wrong permissions. And I want to run the profile trying to pass only the file that gave error. is it possible?
Thanks

Re: Why do group profiles intermittently kick out profiles
c:\documents and settings\syncback\local settings\application data\2brightsparks\syncbackpro\settings.ini
All profiles along with "settings.ini" reside above.
All profiles are only being polled once, there is no instance of any other syncback on the server or anyone else running profiles.
I did try lengthening the poll time on the group profile to 10 min but to no avail.
We need our files transferred ASAP so poling markets every 2 minutes and running group profile every 5 minutes.
I did write a script to do the job in Automate task administrator and it seems to work. This is not a solution just a short term patch until we can get the syncback issue sorted.

Re: Run a profile only whit failed objects
Not without manual intervention (for example, selection of only that file in the Differences window, e.g. changing the Actions of any others to Skip), no.
Obviously, the files that were successfully Moved in the previous run won't be there on Source anyway, but if any other 'qualifying candidates' have appeared since, the profile will propose Moving those also if its settings dictate that. Generally, you'd want any other such candidates to be processed anyway (as they would be on the next run, if there was one), but if not, you'd need to 'intervene'.

Re: Copy and delete: which one first?
Whatever the file it is processing at the time requires. Files are processed as 'encountered' by recursion. There's no sorting to process by size, date, action or anything else. This is to minimise the number of changes of directory, which in some cases (FTP, NAS...) can be extremely slow (also the KISS principle).
You can sort them in the Differences window (and by default, the Differences window will always be sorted on something), but that's only for display purposes. It doesn't affect the order of processing.

Email backup only getting last 30 days...
I just upgraded to SyncBack Pro and I want to use the 'Email backup feature'. I plugged in my 'gmail' account information and picked pop3. The backup works ok but it is only grabbing the last months worth of emails. Is there a way to tell it to grab all of the emails in my account?
Thanks,
Steve
