So I should probably do a "Mirror" once in a while then, to clean things up and ensure I have an identical backup. Yes, I've been renaming and moving things around as far as I remember for those files that don't get deleted on the destination drive. So Mirror is sort of like cloning the drive, except cloning duplicates the whole drive I assume (not just the files, but the invisible stuff as well) whereas "Mirror" only duplicates the exact same files/folders (leaving the underlying system specific stuff alone)? I wasn't aware of the "Mirror" sync operation all I've been using is "Backup left to right" and "bootable left to right". I've been reusing the same sync document each time, but I may have created a brand new one when things didn't work as I expected. Only file and folder attributes will be synchronized. If you do this, then the data won't be transferred.
If you need to rename or move large files or folders, you can avoid the data transfer by performing the same file/folder rename/move operation on the destination target before syncing. It sees this as a file/folder being deleted in one location and a new file/folder appearing in a new location in the sync tree. If you choose to run this, be very careful as it will delete anything on the destination that is not on the source to make the destination a mirror copy of the source.Īlso, ChronoSync doesn't recognize a 'Move' or 'Rename' operation. If you'd like deletions synced immediately with new sync documents, consider using the 'Mirror' sync operation with 'Sync Deletions' enabled. If anyone has another fix please let me know.Can you tell me if you're reusing the same sync document or creating a new one each time you run the backup? You need to be reusing the same sync document for ChronoSync to handle deletions properly. In my testing, checking this box was the only way to solve this problem. It is a useful option, however, in cases where the target volume's size is constrained and it cannot accommodate large, temporary files." This is a more dangerous behavior since you risk losing the backed up copy of a file if an error occurs. "Disable safe-copy - Bypasses the process of copying files to a temporary file and then deleting the file being replaced after the copy has been safely completed. (The files that gave the parameter error for me were all over 1GB.) What I did to solve the problem was check the box labeled Disable Safe-copy in the Options->Special Files/Folder Handling area of the synchronizer document. If you are backing up to a network drive, it may not be able to handle this type of copy for large files. 0 are created by Chronosync temporarily during what is called a safe-copy (on by default). Here is some more information for those of you with this problem. 0 files from your sync as I posited above because it actually excludes the real file. DS_store no problem, but I can't see any of these files starting. When I tell finder to display hidden files I can see the.
0 at the beginning and all are almost identically named to existing files in the folders which I can see (identical except the. These files are all different but they have two things in common, they all have. In a folder with around 150 files & folders I get around 35 errors, all the same except for the actual file that it errors on. I am getting errors with the first profile I want to set up which syncs a folder called 'Home' in my documents folder to a folder called 'Public/Documents/Tetsugaku/Home' on my NAS. Because there are only specific things I want backing up I am creating about 8 profiles, one for pictures, one for business documents etc.
CHRONOSYNC IGNORE FILES BEGIN WITH PERIOD SOFTWARE
I am trying to create a number of rules in my sync software to back files up from my Mac to my local NAS and to my Mobile Me account. Let me fill in a few gaps in my explanation. Although that specific file is created by Numbers, there are more files, not related to numbers with the same issue.
