Replication Update - All files being overwritten in target

dgc4rter · Guest

I've upgraded Vice Versa Pro to build 2503 and now discovered that, upon running, the Source/Target comparision, it's seeing that all files are newer or updated in the source although I know for a fact that most of the files have not changed. Consequently, it's effectively doing a full backup every time instead of an incremental. Is this a bug or do I need to adjust any settings? The previous version that this replaced ran fine without a problem.

Hello,

Which version were you using previously?

Check the ViceVersa comparison window, where files are shown side-by-side: are the files shown with a different time stamp?

thanks

Hi there,

The previous version I was using was build 2502.

I've looked at the timestamp on the comparison and there appears to be a 1 second difference on all the files that are/should be unchanged. This being 1 second earlier on the target which is a Buffalo NAS unit.

I've briefly taken a look at other forum topics which suggest a problem with NAS units. Is this the same?

Hello,

it's probably the issue between NTFS and FAT32 file system. The NAS is probably formatted as FAT32 and Windows as NTFS. To workaround this issue, enable the option "Ignore up to 2 seconds difference between files" in profile settings -> comparison

thanks

Thanks! That appears to have done the trick.
