Profile/VVEngine Design

[Bwalters613]

I have several very large Images directories (totaling over 2 million files) on a server that we want to replicate to a Disaster Reovery server that looks similar to this:

Images
A0001
A0002
B0001
B0002
C0001
C0002

Underneath each of the 'A0001' type subfolders, there are numerous subfolders and subfolders under that. For initial testing, I have created two profiles. Profile1 mirrors source to target Images, with subfolders A* and B* Included only. Profile2 mirrors source to target Images, with subfolders C* and D* Included, and A* and B* Excluded.

I then have the two profiles added to VVEngine to run every 12 hours, only if Source changes.

Right now, the Compare is checking ALL subfolders, and has surpassed 1 million files....is this set up wrong? Or is it counting all the files, but only really comparing what Include/Excludes state for mirror?

PS: It can obvioulsy 'compare' 2 million files (I am watching it approach that now). Is the limitaton just sync/replicating that many files or, comparing them, too?

Hello

Maybe it's an issue with the subfolder filters.

Include "a*" means <include every subfolder starting with A>, which will also include C0001\aaaa\bbbbb\ (if it exists).

Try using "\a*" ; which means <include every subfolder starting with A> at the first level only. That will not include C0001\aaaa\bbbbb\ (if it exists).


Regarding the file limit, it is an approximate number... 1 million in source and in target equal 2 million files only in source and 0 in target.

It is better to split the profiles anyway for memory reasons and to make the profiles more manageable.

thanks
