First posting here as I'm currently evaluating ViceVersa against my existing software for synchronisation which I'm thinking to change.

I like ViceVersa's features overall, but I have one question for which I didn't find an answer on the website. Does ViceVersa use Delta Copy or block level data transfers to minimize the volume of data being copied when synchronization takes place?

Hi!

Thank you for you interest in ViceVersa.

No, ViceVersa does not use Delta Copy or block level file transfers, if a file changes, then the whole file is copied. Implementing block level would require a module to be installed on the receiving size, and ViceVersa right now installs on one side only. Something we might add in the future.

However, changes within a directory a detected and just that file is copied or deleted, see: https://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item108.htm

We are also working on the new version which will include many improvements in terms of speed over low-latency networks during the comparison phase.

Thank you for the information. After some further consideration, Delta Copy or block level file transfers would not be so important for me anyway.

I have a few more days before the license on my current software will expire and by then I'll decide what to do.
