consequences of power outage while performing a sync???

What might be the possible consequences of a sync that is interrupted by a power outage? what can be expected once power would be restored? what is the potential for data loss?

it appears that a sync is a multi-procedure process including the deletion of files on the target destination followed by a rewrite of the updated file.

i'm a new user who would like to be prepared.

thanks

The tracking database may be corrupted, but that can be reset manully (in the ViceVersa profile settings). ViceVersa would warn if that is needed.
A temporary file could be left on the target or source, if ViceVersa was copying during the outage, which ViceVersa usually removes automatically or gives a warning if not possible. That's it. Smile

thanks
