Toucan

heelo
i really like Toucan for writing folder timestamps and the high transfer speeds.

The problem is when I sync from PC to my NAS it takes forever! for most of the time I think its just checking existing files on the remote NAS - I can see high transfer rates from the NAS to the PC which makes me wonder if its checking the whole remote file, not just the hash or timestamp.

I'm using 2.1.0 pre-3, sync, retain file timestamps and attributes, mirror. PC is XP. NAS is freenas (freebsd based).
Any way to speed this up and keep timestamps?

thanks

Hello,

First, love the program and really appreciate all the work on it.

Unfortunaly, I think I have to come to you with a problem. I am trying to run a multiline script from the command line (Script "Sync_Files"):
Sync "Directory_1"
Sync "Directory_2"
Secure "Decrypt_Directory_3"
Sync "Directory_3"
Secure "Encrypt_Directory_3"

Throughout my experience with Toucan I have been fortunate that my portable has always used F:\ both at home and at 2 workplaces so I have never needed to use the portable variables functions. However recently, my sister plugged in her USB and then my portable hard drive. Her USB took the F:\ and my portable the G:\. Now whenever I plug my drive in it is assigned G:\. This is an issue as all my jobs and scripts in Toucan are dependent upon F:\.

Using Toucan 2.0.7 on WinXP Home and Pro, after running a sync, I close out Toucan with the X in the upper right or 'CLOSE' in the upper left. The GUI component will disappear and the process leaves the Application list in Task Manager, however, the process still exists in the Process list of the Task Manager. Any ideas on what to do to figure out why this happens? Whenever the process still runs, I can't eject the removable drive it's on until I kill the process.

Thanks,
Ted

Hi
Is there any way to do if/then/else statements in the scripts?
I would like to do some syncing, but want to make sure it only happens at my own computer. I'm thinking along the lines of:

If @computername@=XXX Then Sync MyJob

Then I could load the script from the autorun.inf, and it would only run on my own pc.

Hi Team,

I am trying to setup an automatic schedule to sync a folder from my computer to a storage disk. I create the job in Toucan but I can't get the job to run automatically. Can anyone please help me with a step by step instruction of this?

I used V2.0.6 until now and there only the previev window is case sensitive (for example the files pcu_20.abb and PCU_20.ABB are not the same).
But the sync-update function in 2.0.6 did not copy the files.

I now tested the 2.1.0 dev 3 and noticed that not only the previev is case sensitive but also the sync-update copies all the files.
Is it really neccesary to handle file names case sensitive?

I use toucan to synchronise/update notebooks with windows and unix servers, and
the unix server is the problem in this case (converts to lower case).

Hello!

I want to backup just .exe files so I made this rulset:
---
Files to exclude
*.*

Locations to always include
*.exe
---

It's only working partially. I get mostly just the .exe files, however I also get any files wich has 'exe' somewhere in it's name. Examples: SciLexer.dll NppExec.dll HexEditor.ini

Am I doing something wrong?
