sync archives

[stefanobruno]

but more than anything... if you delete everything, why do you use backup? Don't you just make a copy?

I did it (the deletion ) because on the laptop, finished the contract, I made a pack & go to eliminate all the unnecessary.
in the office I said : I delete everything and replace with sinctoy the nice ordered folders that I made on the laptop, et voilà the ( almost ) disaster.


Bye.

Anyway, I looked better. synctoy works great if used always and only in one direction. with echo also correctly propagates the deletions, and it is the only one of those I tried that recognizes the renamed files and does not consider them new.

when for some reason I will work on "destination", the synchronomy on the contrary I will do it with allwaysync.

I'll let you know when I have deleted some vital files. I put the message and then I hang!

I've taken the habit of always making a preview. so I see immediately what will be updated from the pc on my usb key

I exhume this thread for best [Bleep] against synctoy.
I use it in one direction, to sync my disk with those backups. if I delete something from my disk, I don't always propagate the deletion on those backups.

Fuck!

Does anyone know if it is a limit or can you play with the settings?

p.s. I use the "echo" setting

echo by definition does not erase anything.

 

[Fulvio Romano]

the definition of echo is: "new and updated files are copiesd left to right. renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right".
therefore cancellations should be propagated. and in reality I am, but not always and I have not understood why. It could be that if I delete a whole folder doesn't work, with the single file instead you do. But I'm not sure.

other options are synchronize (very dangerous in my case) and contributions that propagate everything except erasures

I reexhume the post...for lovers of linux, council krusader.

was born as a shell, so it is not under the category "synchronizers", but it has the function of synchronizing two locations, so do the case.

has so many settings, it is even better than allwaysync and vice versa, which still remain milestones.

the only problemuccio is that I don't know if it exists for windows...

Yes, I was confused!

re-riesumo once again.

found puresync and it seems very nice. free, functional, with both backup, mirroring and echo functions.

Here you are using unison:
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/It also works through the internet, I keep synchronized the file systems of two linux servers in the office and home.

recognizes creations, deletions and file modifications, while renounces are considered as new files.

allway synchttp://allwaysync.comHis subtitle is the file synchronizer that works!

and using it you understand why. . .

does everything you expect to do, including saving the changes you make during a sync operation so that you track deleted/replaced files. example, a moron accidentally deletes a directory and propagates the whole... You can make sure you go to retrieve deleted files if you're told to do this "backup" of the changes. every tot of time the most obsolete changes are kept.
it's a fee, but I paid very gladly the few euros and I took off a tide of scratches!! !

I'm using it and I'm fine, the only thing I miss is the ability to store via ftp on the remote server.
