 Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:10 am Post subject: A scenario? |
 |
|
I have:
Two PCs each with their own set of user files (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos & PST File). I also have an external NAS Drive.
I access files and make change and delete files from either PC.
I'd like VV to ensure that both PCs (and the NAS Drive) have exactly synched/mirrored user files that reflect the latest changes regardlesss of which PC was used to make them.
Can VV do this and if so how?
Regards,
K |

Sync both PCs vs. the NAS
Install ViceVersa on both PCs (requires a single license to use on 2 computers if both computers are used by you only) and define a profile to sync vs. the NAS
When you run the profile on each PC it will sync vs the NAS.
Note that if a file is changed on both PCs in between syncs the file will be marked as conflict and you manually need to decide which one to keep.
thanks

| Thanks for the quick reply. I've not looked at the software yet. Is it easy to set up a profile and are you suggesting that I copy the profile from PC1 to PC2 to create exactly the same profile on both PCs? |

It is very easy to setup a profile, just define source (laptop) and target (NAS) folders and select synchronization as execution method. Save the settings to a file and you are done. It can be done on both PCs.
VV PRO is fully featured and probably will serve you better!
thanks

|
|
If I am synching between two machines, one xp, one vista how do I exclude desktop.ini files, vista gets a bit twitchy (user folders) if these are substituted?
If I have e.g. iTunes on both machines and the iTunes sub-folder in the Music folders become synch. Does that mean the Itunes app on one machine will recognise its library and the other wont? (Same q for WMP11)

Add an exclude file filters (profile settings > file filters) and exclude desktop.ini

mmm, not sure, I do not know ITunes that well... i would say the two library will become equal but I am not sure.
thanks
