I don't think I can do this but wanted to see if there are options that I am missing.

A simple two server setup. Single profile source folder to target folder. My source will always have much more data than I want to hold in my target. But if I delete files from target, they again are copied into target from source.

Is there any way to do what I am trying to do?

Hi, "copy once" is not supported by ViceVersa, e.g. do not copy file to target if it was copied already once. It's functionality that could be implemented using the tracking db, since the tracking db "knows" if a file was in target before and has been deleted.

That's what I needed to be sure of. Thank you very much.

Is that a feature on the table for an upcoming release?

One thing we use VV for, as example of where this is helpful, is when developers are not allowed to access a servers drives directly or via a Share due to regulatory compliance requirements, but they need to see app logs. So we replicate those logs to another server they can access. We may only need a couple of weeks of logs on the target, while we have to leave several months on the source. We have a "log" server pulling from several servers they cannot otherwise access.

The problem with implementing this feature using the tracking db is that if the db is deleted, reset or lost or corrupted for whatever reason, then all files will be copied again.

One alternative way could be to copy only files to target based on date?

Ahh, I didn't think of the reset. That could create additional problems.

As for copy by date, I think that would work perfectly. Are you saying that as a potential future feature, or one that exists now? When you mentioned it I started looking to see if it exists.

Currently you can exclude all files older than X days, or that are before a certain date... the options are in profile settings -> file filters.

I completely overlooked that feature. Thank you. That looks to be what we need, and we'll have a script on the target that keeps the older logs purged.

Thank you very much!
