Toucan

Hello,

To begin, thanks a lot for the wonderful tool of Toucan.
I'am using "rsync" to synchronize directories between Linux servers.
I was searching a tool to do the same between windows servers.

I tried to use "SyncToy", but even in the last version, the tools have bugs. Also, the configuration file is mandatory, and under a specific windows user, and crypted.

With "Toucan", I can run some synchronisations in command line without configuring them before. Like this:



Hello

Thanks for the great software of toucan!!!! Just a question:
I want to start toucan automatically one time a week to make a backup of some files using the option to use a password for the backup zip file. Is there a possibility to make this? I try with the task sheduler of microsoft and a .bat file. It is working but without using a password. Do somebody knows a way? Perhaps also without using the task sheduler of microsoft (usefull, when I am using the software on an other computer...).

Thank you for your help!!!

Using 2.2.1 here under Windows XP SP3. When encrypting files, after entering and repeating password on the "Input Password" window, another window pops under, entitled "Progress" which I have to switch to and close. I don't recall this being the behavior on older versions. Is this the desired behavior? Why not be on top in the foreground instead of behind?

Hi there,

i've got a little problem with toucan syncing. My goal to achieve is, that I want to keep all my e-mails and address books in thunderbird up to date between my installation on my PC and the portable thunderbird on my stick.

For this purpose, I created two jobs: "ToStick" and "FromStick". As you may guess, the "ToStick" job should copy all files, that have changed, from the local pc onto my stick. And the job "FromStick" should do it vice versa.

I defined two variables:

Toucan is really a very handy and a powerful backup solution. I've been using it for some time and really appreciate it. I've checked the forum, the documentation and the Web and could not find any reference of Toucan with Amazon S3.

Hello,
Does Toucan 2.2.1 or earlier version run with Windows 7 64 bits ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kindly.

Hi! I'll bet I catch h*** for this one...honest, I searched first and could find no answer to my question: where do I find the date of a saved sync task? I should point out that I do no more than the simplest un-compressed backups to my portable drive. This app is capable of much more than I can comprehend. (or need, I think...)

Alright, got a strange issue with Toucan. I plopped it on my domain controller, a Server 2003 box, and set it to run as a task, as administrator, and backup a second hard-drive in the system to an external HDD after hours when nothing is in use. I chose differential and it seems to work, but the problem occurs down the road. What I noticed is that the base file is created and works (will open in 7-Zip), and the first differential file works, but the third backup and beyond do NOT work. For example, I create a new base file every Sunday. This file works.

Hello there,

I'm trying for hours to get Toucan to run a job (which works fine) and to shut down the pc afterwards.

Via commandline,

start /w "(path to toucan)\toucan.exe" jobname does not work,
start /w "(path to toucan)\toucan.exe jobname" does not work either, nor does
start /w "(path to toucan)\toucan.exe" "jobname".

hey steven,

first i like to thank you for this awesome program.

I like to use the sourcecode to compile a modified version for my needs. My primary goal is hiding some of the tabs and advanced option. I´m going to use the modded version for a part of my thesis in order to get my degree. I hope thats ok for you. No one will ever get this version.

I downloaded the version from your mercurial repository and tried to compile the toucann.cpp with wxdev-cpp (gcc) compiler. failed...

here´s the compiling log:
