FTP synchronization
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 4:47 am
This is my first post so If I post incorrectly I apologize in advance. I will also try to include as much detail as possible.
I am setting up a synchronization for a client using this software obviously...
BestSync 2011 Ver6.2.43 64bit
Synchronization Folder 1 (local 2003 64bit server) -> Folder 2 (FTP Buffalo NAS 4TB)
Moving 99.72GB of data Across a Wireless ISP. Needless to say it took 100+ hours to transfer. Had to start over aswell due to power failure at center during transfer, that always helps
Sending across the Internet, not a network transfer.
Steps I took:
1: Preview - Synchronize Timestamps
-let it scan, it always pauses at 65GB for about 3minutes
-press start when ready to synchronize time stamps
-close windows when done, takes a while...
2: Preview - Mirror Folder 1 => has double arrows Folder 2
-it scans, pauses at 65gb for a while
-when ready push blue start button, let the data transfer...
3: All data is transferred
4: NOW WHAT?
How do I ensure it only sends the new/modified data to FTP?
It seems to want to send all data again which is not going to happen?
I should run it as Preview Folder 1 -> Folder 2?
Do I just let the task or service run as Folder 1 -> Folder 2?
Do I have to syncronize timestamps everytime?
Questions?
When using the Multiple Thread Option what is that being based on, How many cores are on your system?
Does that help determine performance of using 8 or 16 threads?
I am getting FTP connection issues when transfering I get when doing 1 or 16 transfers, could this be due to the Internet connection or threads over Internet and not Network transfer?
Thank you for your support...
