![]() ![]() I also appreciate how unintrusive the interface is for such a complex program - it gets out of the way when not needed, and presents options and information in an intuitive and simplified way without dumbing them down. It also improves the performance of my portable programs in the flash drive since the throughput needed to copy the deltas is significantly less than the throughput needed to copy the whole file again to the disk. I may be wrong on this but for my use case I believe it allows me to at least prolong the life of my flash drive since it does not need to copy a file (some of them can get quite large) to the drive everytime it changes but only the block level deltas. The one feature that really stood out for me is support for delta syncing contained within a single application as opposed to needing two applications (one each for the source and destination). I'm not a very technical person and English is not my primary language so I would like to apologize in advance if there are some things in this reply which are hard for me to explain. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions and giving me some pointers on how to solve my problem. Re: concurrent backups - as of R77.6 you have granular control over concurrency via "job queues". Q1.b.i.2 - generally, yes, but the pre/post commands can be anything executable. Q1.b - I think this can be made to work, sure. But your L2USB is manual, so it's a no go. The problem with this option is that both jobs will need to be periodic or real-time. The queuing order is determined by the job's internal ID, which is based on the job's configuration folder name: Not grouping though, but queuing.īy default, the backup engine forms all due backups into a queue and executes them one by one. Q1 - I would probably look at keeping L2USB job disabled by default and then have USB2L job enable it with a post-backup command. Yours is the latter case, so a sync is a better fit here. I realize you know this, but just to be clear - backups always give priority to the source side and syncs treat both sides equally. to use a two-way sync software rather than Bvckup 2. bat launcher according to: Ī simple answer would be. I am running Bvckup 2 off a USB drive and created a. So if any of the solutions involves I disable concurrent backups then sadly, I cannot for my use case.Ģ. It enables me to have a 3-2-1 approach to backup (3 backups = 2 local - one in the USB and one in the local drive, 1 offsite - OneDrive). When the realtime "Local to USB" job is running I have a concurrent real-time backup job "USB to OneDrive" that basically backups the files in the USB to a OneDrive folder in my computer. I realize the importance of one-way sync and am convinced of the uni-directional approach of Bvckup 2.ġ. I am not trying to do bi-directional syncing. I.3 Is a batch script (.bat) needed for this?ġ. I.2 How to use the Critical and the ReturnCode? ![]() Something like this could be tried: and in the USB folder create a file that says USB to Local.active such that when the file is there, the "Local to USB" job will fail? But I don't know how to use the -Command configuration- in this link: How can the above usecase be accomplished using the pre- post- commands tool? Is this the use case of grouping? And can it be combined with real-time back-up sync?ī. How do I automate these two jobs such that the "Local to USB" job only runs after "USB to Local" job has run and only if it has completed successfully?Ī. When I run Bvckup 2, the real-time "Local to USB" job execute first since it is real time, and overwrite the files in the USB folder.ġ. Local to USB - This is a real-time delta sync backup that is run after all the files in the Local are updated.ġ. USB to Local - This is a manual backup that is run everytime I plug in the USB to any of the computers and ensures that the local folder that I am using contains all the latest files.ī. For performance reasons, I work directly on the local hard drive instead of using the USB Flash Drive directly (The USB is mainly acts for syncing, and in theory contains all the latest files).Ī. I work on two computers and use a USB Flash Drive to sync files between them.Ģ. ![]() Aug 31, 2017How do I accomplish this? My use case is as follows:ġ. ![]()
