Confused not backing up everything?

Post by BuzzedDarkYear »

OK so I have been using Robocopy for years but the newest version of that software sends a useless log file to me. So I broke down and bought Syncback Pro. I have had nothing but problems using this software? I read people saying they have been using it for years no problem? So I must definitely be doing something wrong? Here is the setup on my work network. Source = \\Servername\Public Destination = \\Servername\servername {folder}. I tried this and it scanned and only found like 93 files to backup and there is probably close to a terabyte of data in three folders on the source? I selected backup and did a simple setup for the profile. The only thing I did modify is I told it that the source was a Syncback Touch device and that tested fine. Now the destination is a brand new RAID 10 array on a new server I rebuilt which was empty and ready to accept data but when the profile runs after scanning it states there are only 93 files to backup? To be completely open I did have this configured to run last night as a group to backup two different sources but that failed miserably so I deleted those profiles and started over again with pretty much the same result? I have been doing this stuff for quite a few years and normally don't have difficulty with new software but this is frustrating me to no end?

Hi,

Can you please generate/submit a support zip with debug logs of the scan phase to [email protected] for further investigation. To do this, enable 'Output debug information' from Preferences menu and run the profile in manual mode (ctrl + R). When the Differences Window is displayed abort the profile run and submit the support zip as per the instructions given here:
https://help.2brightsparks.com/support/ ... 3000335603

If your Zip is over 30MB, contact us for alternate instructions, advising the actual size. Do not try to attach to the ticket!

Do not post (nor links to) Support Zips on this open forum.

Thank you

Swapna,
I did as you asked and I have uploaded the debug log file to your FTP server named NHDC1.zip.
