Delete on write possible?

[EthanTDX]

Is there a way to have VV/VVEngine perform an update where it copies data from the source to the target, then once it verifies that the files match, delete the data from the source?

Here's the scenario... we are backing up a bunch of data to a file server (source). We are wanting to move this data to a deduplication device (target). I'm using VV/VVEngine to upload the data to the target once it detects a change; however, eventually the source will fill up since it's just temporary space. I currently have a powershell script to delete files older than 'x' hours, but I'd like something a little more elegant within the software if possible to delete from the source once it verifies a match.

Is there a way within the software to do this?

I would try running two profiles. The first one copies files from your source to the target with an option to run a second profile on successful completion. The second profile performs a CRC comparison between source and target to verify the first profile did its job. The result should be that the second profile did not copy any files.

The second profile also would use the post profile execution option to run a script that deletes all the source files, setting conditional script execution options such that:
1.) The second profile executed successfully (no errors)
2.) No file copying happened (all CRC values between source and target files matched)

Moving files or delete on write is something we need to add to ViceVersa, currently not possible, but it's a much requested feature. thanks
