VV not archiving on target and not syncing properly

[urmel]

Hi there

I do have the problem, that VV ist not archiving and it is not deleting files in target which are deleted in source. I just discovered the setting "No archive for deleted/replaced source files" in the view profile settings output but there is no setting where I can change this in the VV GUI. And I discovered the setting " Ignore any second difference" in the view profile settings output but I have ticked the Ignore up to 60 seconds ... - option in the Comparison section ?????

What is going wrong ?

Following scenariao:

Source:
- WINX machine with VV und Vengine latest versions.
- Target is mapped with WebDrive to source providing UNC-Path
- \\?\ used for all path names (source, target and archiv)
- Archiv-folder located on target machine

Target:
- remote Linux Server

Profile settings (Output of view profile settings):

Folders
- Source: "\\?\C:\"
- Target: "\\?\UNC\xxxx.xxxxx.xx\server\srv\xxxxxx\C\" (Encrypted) (Archived)
- Include Subfolders: Yes
- Create sources/targets that do not exist
- Exclude files: "desktop.ini"
- Exclude files: "\\?\C:\msdia80.dll"
- Exclude files: "*.log"

Comparison
- Comparison Type: Size and Timestamp
- Ignore any second difference
Execution
- Method: Synchronization (synchronize one-way only: source to target)
- No overwrite / read-only / error confirmations
- Tracking Database: "C:\ProgramData\ViceVersa PRO\xxxxxxx.tdb"
- Log File: "C:\ProgramData\ViceVersa PRO\xxxxxxx.log" (max 10000 KB)
- No archive for deleted/replaced source files
- Archive deleted/replaced target files to: "\\?\UNC\xxx.xxx.xx\server\srv\xxxxx\ViceVersa-Archiv\" (Encrypted)
- Smart archive
- Append Source/Target path to archive folder(s)
- Copy files even if timestamp changes after initial comparison
- Skip files that are in use by other applications
- Use 'Volume Shadow Copy' to copy open files for source


Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello, the archiving options are in profile settings -> archiving.
You are using :
Method: Synchronization (synchronize one-way only: source to target)
which only synchronizes one-way, not two-way.

I have pretty much the same problem. I'm only working with (2) source drives, E: and F: to target X: and Y; respectively. I expect that when a small file or folder is changed on E: (F:) that the file or folder will appear on X:(Y:) drive within a few minutes. This is not the case. Even on small files and folders after a few days the updates have not been made. I then have to use another software program to review/compare the current differential status between the source and target drives. This defeats the whole purpose of using CDP backup software.

What settings do I need to change to have 'reasonable' updates of the target drive? Like 5 minutes or less.

P.S. I'm only interested in one-way sync - source to target.
