Toucan

Hi guys !

I am a total rookie on Toucan and i need some help.

I am trying to achive the following:

I want Toucan to backup a source to a target every night at ca 02:00.

Source = \\ARGON2\Nasty
Target = \\Nucboxg3\e\Backup_Nasty

How do i do that ?

Hi. Spent a few hours trying to make rules to exclude folders when backing up and syncing. It seemed simple, but I can't figure out how it works.
Example, I'm backing up folder C:\\Folder\, it has subfolders Subfolder1, Subfolder2, Subfolder3. I want to exclude Subfolder2 and everything in it. I write a regex rule 'Exclude folder':
.*\\Subfolder2\\.*
But it doesn't work, the backup is empty.
I don't want to use absolute paths because tomorrow (conventionally) drive C will become drive D and I won't need to at least rewrite the exclusion rules.

The last version of Toucan that works "well" is v3.0.4.
I've tried every single release since then, and they are all much worse than 3.0.4.
The first 3.1 release had this annoying "feature" recording all the skipped file. This was eventually fixed. But another problem that was never fixed:
- I have a folder, with just below 9000 files to backup, from a SSD to a USB pen drive, with Toucan on the target pen drive.

Message states... ***Caught unhandled unknown exception; terminating

I am trying for the first time to use Toucan to encrypt a directory on a travel USB. If it makes a difference, I am dual booting between Windows 7.1 and Linux Mint 20.3 and my problem arises when running Toucan from the USB to try and encrypt directories on the USB.

To begin, I click "secure", then in the LH pane I click on the folder I want to encrypt. In the middle of the screen I click on the green + until the folder I want to encrypt appears in the RH pane.

Hello I'm using Toucan and it's giving an error about accessing system volume information, how can I exclude this exactly? Under Rules can I jsut do Absolute path - simple - Rule: c:/systemvolumeinformation or something ?

I just want to sync two hard drives using copy only but only the actual data, not the system volume info, I can't even see that folder with show hidden files/folders enabled under windows, but it shows up on Toucan.

I'm going from 16TB G: drive to 14TB T:\ drive.

I don't understand how to input this as an exclusion, the documentation is confusing.

Hi,

I just tried to install toucan into this folder: C:\Program Files\Toucan

But this folder is not accepted. It complains that this folder is invalid I shall select a valid folder like "C:\Program Files or sub folder".

Great.

I ran Toucan for the first time today (Win 10 x64). It was just updated to version 3.1.8. When looking at the documentation, it says that in Sync and Copy mode that it deletes nothing. When I started running it, the first few messages that came up were "Remove directory...". That does not sound like it is deleting nothing! Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.

David

No major changes, just one bugfix, see release description for details: https://github.com/PortableApps/Toucan/releases/tag/3.1.8.1

For now I've tagged it as "pre-release" in Github, if there are no issues reported in GH in about a week, I'll change that to a full release.
