system disk is full after sync (recycle bin)

During VV synchronization task on my Windows 2008 R2 server the system disk runs full.
Is there a way to see why this is happening (and prevent it)?

Hi, what are you synchronizing? Between which locations / folders? thanks

Hi, i am synchronizing between a NAS which is the source and a local disk which is the target (not the system disk).

Hi, thanks, could be the size of the page file on the system disk "pagefile.sys" on the root folder (c:\ usually). How much space free on the system disk?

Hi, there is 20 GB of free disk space.

Additional info: the system where VV Pro is running has 8 Gb of Ram 9windows server 2008 R2). That is also where the partition resides (local) that is the target of the synchronization. Which is not the system disk.

The pagefile is not setup to be created on the system disk, but on a separate partition.

I have divided the VV tasks so that there are not millions of files to be synchronized, but in some cases a couple of hundreds of thousands.

However VV Pro hangs the system (or slows it down to a point you cannot remotely login) even with a task that only has a couple of thousand files to sync.

Hope this helps. I am really getting frustrated and do not dare to backup/sync anything anymore. The server is too important in daily operation to go down.

thanks, it could be a conflict between ViceVersa copying files and other application on the server. Try this: in the ViceVersa profile settings -> performance set the Process Priority to IDLE, and set a low limit for the max bandwidth. Then only schedule 1 profile to start with, and increment in steps to see if it's the copy load that is the problem. Are you using Volume Shadow Copies in ViceVersa? Do you have resident real-time anti-virus software scanning the files as they are copied?

I do not use volume shadow copy. there is no anti virus running that scans files being copied. I will try your suggestion. Thanks.

Hi, I tried it with system priority on "Idle". Bandwith on 5Mb and process speed on 49%. It still slowed down the server dramatically. It was almost none responsive. Opening the task manager for instance took 2 minutes.

HI, it seems that when i execute a profile that does not have to delete anything it goes very smoothly. If a profile has to delete files (are not in the source, but are in the target) then is slows down everything dramatically.

Are you sending files to the recycle bin when deleting (check the option in ViceVersa -> main menu -> view -> preferences) If positive, please try disabling the option. thanks
