|
|
I have two profiles in which I've checked 'Use "Smart" Archive' but I do not see the archive files being created anywhere? The profile is scheduled under VVEngine and I see it running regularly but still no smart archive.
What else do I need to do to get smart archiving working beyond checking the option??
Many thanks,
Mark |

OK. Managed to log in now!
Just wanted to point out that I have set a directory for target archive.

Hello
You should see files in the archive folders(s) if you activated archiving in the profile settings. Did you select source and target archive folders?

Perhaps I am getting confused by the source/target folders...
My source is C:\SOURCE\ and subdirectories
My target is Z:\BACKUPS\SOURCE
The above is where I wish to store the MIRROR of current files.
And then I want to smart archive as well in
Z:\BACKUPS\SMART\SOURCE
Do I set SOURCE or TARGET directory pointing here in the archive section?
CHeers,

Hello Mark
Then you should use Z:\BACKUPS\SMART\SOURCE as your archive folder for target. This can be set under profile settings -> archiving. VV will move files there when deleting or overwriting files in the target folder.

I still feel this isn't working, or I have something set wrong. I updated my script as directed 7 days ago and just checked my archive directory today.
Files which have changed every day since then only have a number of archived entries going back to yesterday. I would have expected, according to the description of Smart Archive to have multiple versions of those changed files including at least a file for every day since the script was installed? This profile archives my email, which I check multiple times per day, every day, so the script has been triggered many times over the past week and yet I only have archive files going back to yesterday...
Here is my profile. Do I have it set wrong or do I misunderstand how smart archiving works?
Many thanks,
Mark

Hello
Does the profile log file show the e-mail file being copied to the target? The log should also contain info on which files are archived and which files are removed from the archive.
thank you _________________ --

Hello
The profile settings are fine, no problem with that.
Can you please send the profile log file to support@tgrmn.com ?
Quote: | Log File: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ViceVersa PRO 2\email.log" (max 100 KB) |
I am not sure if now the log contains enough info, its max size is set to 100 KB
