|
|
Hello,
I am currently evaluating the product to use it in our company for replication purposes. The functionality i need is to be able to propagate all changes from source to the target EXCEPT THE DELETES. When a file is deleted on the source, we want the target to be either renamed or moved to an archived location(but not when overwriting files!). I can not find this feature. It either leaves the files as it is or moves files to archive when they are overwritten. Any help would be appreciated.
The second problem arises when i ask it to leave the deleted files on the target as it is. When i rename a source file, the old file stays there and a new file is created. This is because ViceVersa hooks up into individual Windows shell operations rather than an atomic operation. This creates problems as well as overheads of course.
Waiting for the reply. |

This is possible with file archiving

This is because the target file does not have a corresponding source file.

Thanks for prompt reply.

I meant to say that if the mode is set to Replicate(Update), if i rename a file, the file with the original name stays there and a new file is created with the new name! |

yes, with renaming and replication that can happen. You could use Mirror instead and move files to the archive folder with the file archiving feature.
