Hi, Im am figuring out how to get the best backup's of my music files. I have followed the instructions from Moonbase. (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Backing_up_Your_Music)
But the first problem is that all files copied by Rsync don't have the right permissions. So when the backup is ready, I can't open any directory or file. The website say that the Deltacopy service must run under the Administrator account. But in Win7 I can't find an account with the name "Administrator" so I can't use that. So I used my own account with "administrator" rights but each new file or directory is stll locked. So my own account doesn't work for this problem. There is a function in Delta Copy "Fix permissions" and it works, but you have to do that for each new written file or directory after another backup. If you don't run dis "fix" and for some reason you can't use the deltacopy service anymore you will end up with a bit perfect copy of all files, but you can't touch them or even look at them. So first question is how to prevent all directories and files getting locked? Then about speed. I did some time measuring with 7 Gb of .Flac files. All done on 1 computer between 2 folders Windows (all) file copy: 5'35'' Delta Copy, full backup: 7'33'' Then I changed 2 tags in all files: DeltaCopy, incremental backup: 10'52'' The time to complete the task is twice as big with DeltaCopy. The advantage is that DeltaCopy only transmits 8 Megabyte and Windows filecopy copies the whole 8 Gb again. So what then is the benefit of DeltaCopy. The whole filecheck process takes more time than just copy the file again. And a fresh copied file is unmodified by DeltaCopy. Aren't there windows programs without the hasle with locked files, but that keep track about checksums of the files and just copy the whole file again if there is something changed? But without installing services and with better reporting about what exactly is copied. But maybe I don't understand the benefit of using DeltaCopy/Rsync. -- Bert0123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bert0123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67013 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
