Toucan

Hi new to Toucan and forum,
Having problems
Using sync
Wanted to run job did preview identified 8 file out of 50,000 that would be copied or updated. This was done in seconds.
Process dialog shows files processed.
Process dialog is frozen and cannot be shut down without using task manager.
App is also frozen.
Task manager CPU percentage sitting at 25% was up to 75%.

It would be nice if Toucan would show the progress in some way.

I'm just wondering, is it really an alternative?

I wish to THANK YOU for the latest update.

The log file would benefit from a summary listing of the failed file executions.

Also, a summary of number of files copied, skipped, removed, etc. would be great.

When I have a 1,000 files, it becomes timely to locate the failed file executions when I am not sitting in front of the screen for however long the script decides to take.

I upgraded v3.1-8 to v3.1-9.
v3.1-9 will not execute an individual job nor a script.
I get the message "Toucan has stopped working windows will search for problem"

I tried deleting v3.1-8 and installing v3.1-9 rebuilding the jobs. No luck. Same message.

I have windows 7 pro 32 bit.

Is it possible to let Toucan do a backup on regular intervals (every 2 minutes for instance). The problem i want to solve is the following:
I have a directory in which files are temporarily (very short time sometimes) stored, before the are moved away by a program. I want to keep a copy of these files.
I think the best way to do this is to let a backup program run in the background and backup the directory every couple of minutes (before the files are moved).
Can Toucan do this?
Thanks

I have searched through the forum but if I have missed this subject I'm sorry.
I would like to save my back ups to a password protected mapped drive on my Home Netword. I can't see how to put the password into Tucon to allow access. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello all,

There is a strange error that pops up when tying to sync with a network share.

The error is:
The source must exist
Toucan 3.1 must exist

The job looks like this:

Source:
@LocalF@\Files\Sync\

Destination:
@Remotehost-D@\Files\Sync\

Variables:
LocalF F:
Remotehost-D \\remotehost\d

Oddly enough, it shows the preview, both folder contents and does work with the path names instead of the variables. This is on Win7-64bit.

Help/bug?

I have a long-standing issue with Toucan. It affects the latest version, but was also present in at least the two previous versions.

I run differential backups of my PortableApps installation from my USB key to a hard drive on my (Windows 7 64-bit) PC. So every week or so I change the destination folder to force a full backup and each day thereafter a differential to the same folder.

Hello,

Toucan crashes when I run Toucan, I go to the "Rules" pane and I click the "+" icon.

Could it be fixed?

Best regards,

LuP

Running Toucan Portable resulted in threat messages from Immunet (Free) virus program
. The program detected the files as the following:
- W32.Unpacked (four times on first sync)
- W32.SHEATH.COHORS.OCT.C0C99D

Does anyone know why this is happening and how it affects sync?
