Hi folks, After about 3 weeks of playing with iFolder, I finally got it set up the way I wanted it. I had been testing along the way, and had it take over "production" duties for some backup/sync I had been doing using another application.
First up was a massive directory of web sites and files, backed up across a LAN. It discovered changes in 300,000+ files (50GB or so) ...and was rolling along nicely. I tend to be paranoid, so I always had the application and sync log running on screen. At one point I checked in on progress and noticed that it had been deleting files for some time. Considering I had not synchronized this particular folder with another client, there is no reason any files should be deleted...ever. It should simply sync them up to the server as they change. I don't know how or why, but 20GB of files had been deleted from my file system before I stopped it. Thankfully I'm religious about my backup process, and after shutting down the server I started recovering everything I had. Needless to say, not a confidence booster at all. I'll continue to monitor iFolder and see how development goes, but there's no way I can trust it as it stands. I certainly hope you guys are able to stabilize things, because this is by far the only real open-source competitor to cloud-based solutions like this...and I've been looking for a long while!
