Toucan

newbie question.

is there a rule which will allow me to sync/backup only files from the specified directory and ignore all sub-folders within that directory without having to specify a rule for each sub-folder?

thanks.

I may have missed it somewhere, but it seems there is no way to encrypt file names/document names along with their content. It seems too enticing to encrypt my banking documents, but leave the "Banking Details" visible as a file name after encryption.
Any hints?
Thanks

hello,

i noticed that toucan (tested with v2.0.3) completely ignores empty directories when doing backups (both zip and 7z, all types). i don't think this is a correct behaviour.

can someone please confirm?

thanks, jose

Spyware Doctor found high risk infection "Trojan.Pakes" in file "cygwin1.dll" in folder: "PortableApps\Toucan\App\toucan".
All I can se is that "cygwin1.dll" is product of Red Hat company from year 2004 and
Trojan.Pakes is product of Integrated Search Technologies (IST).

Questions:
1)Is this false alarm?

Would it be possible to include some preset rules/portable varuables for when using multiple pcs. For the less knowledgable users maybe include some baisc variables/rules for if a pc had different drive letters or such.

This is a funky issue I have never run across before...

While i have used other backup utilities before, I have never used toucan. Toucan seems pretty straight forward.

I have googled and searched the PA forums and have not found a similar issue. I just cannot figure it out!

Using Toucan I backed up files from a computer (~30 gb) to an external tape drive (haha... yes, 120gb, a tape drive). I made sure the file/folder sizes matched and then reformatted the computer. The files are mostly standard documents, pictures, and videos. that have been collected over life.

Would it be possible to include a portable variable for the volume name of a drive in the next release? E.g. @volume@. This would be useful in naming backup files.

Thanks!

BTW: Very nice app.

I have a problem with synchronizing two specific files.
The first is the keepass database (name: Sp.kdb) which is stored in the documents directory within the portableapps folder structure.
The second file is a rohos disk file (name: EncryptedDisk.rdi) which resides in the same folder.

Both files are not read-only neither hidden or compressed.
Toucan job settings:
- Equalise
- Other: nothing checked
- no rules
- no variables

All other files and folders are being synchronized perfectly. What am I doing wrong?

Would you consider in a future release having Tucan keep a persons selected settings. Now you need to save a job. As an example I use sync, copy, mirror. Each time I go back I have to recheck this option and others I may wish to use like ignore read only and the others on the page.

Hi, I've searched for a while to find the answer to this one and pressed the button but its use is not really clear. On the sync screen it's the button between the two windows and also on the right of the right hand frame. It looks like a magnifying glass over a folder which would suggest a search. When I press it, the filenames in the window to the left of the button disappear and the scroll bar 'thing' shoots wildly up and down. I've never waited longer than about 20 seconds before I lost courage and halted the process. What is it for? (sorry if this is a dumb question)
