|
|
Using my registered version of ViceVersa Pro 2 Build 2015 the comparison feature shows that the target files on my USB backup drive are newer (+) than those of my source hard drive even though the file names, size, date and time of day are exactly the same.
I also have difficulty with file comparison when all of the parameters are exactly the same except for the time which is off by 3 hours because of east/west coast usage even though I had used a time difference of 180 minutes in the comparison profile. Once again it shows the target files are newer (+). |

Hello
are the timestamps exactly identical or some differ a few seconds? are you using CRC comparison?

Hello
this must be related to the 180 minutes in the offset field then, is the profile still comparing with 180 minutes offset,
thanks _________________ --

The use of 180 minutes via the offset feature appears to correct the times but the comparison favors the target files with the plus sign forcing me to address each of the 5000 or so files. |
