Toucan

Hi all,

When I launch a sync, with some rules specified, exluded files are excluded from the copy, but I can't exclude a folder. It is always copied. I have tried with the whole path name, or just with the folder name. But the folder is always copied.

Does someone know where it could come from?
Thanks

Hi there

I wonder if it is possible to backup and encrypt in the same time for more security than just password with backup.

Is it possible to extract some files if we want then to a different place ( easily).

Thx alot.

I just installed Toucan 2.0.2 from 1.2.2 and the new version is very slow when drawing the screen. Also, the app seems to take forever and a day to launch compared to 1.2.2.

I would like to back up profiles that are on XP systems to Vista and other information that is on a XP system. and is there other scripts that I could run to this.

Hi,

"remove button" informations (the red minus sign) aren't delete in "jobs.ini, [Locations=]"

I create a task, in zip file on the desk, to save a directory with a build-in variable (@drive@\Test) . I Save and run. Ok
Then I Add an other directory still by a build-in variable (@drive@\Test2). I save and run. OK (2 directories in the archive).
So, I have "Locations=|@drive@\\Test|@drive@\\Test2" in jobs.ini

Now if i want to remove "Test2", i select-it and use the red minus sign button.

Can someone point me to a step by step instruction on how to setup Toucan to sync TB between my portable drive and laptop?

Hello,

I think i have a bug with backup :
if i have several saved "jobname" ("task1", "task2", ...), when i use in command line : toucan.exe "task1", toucan do ALL the job i have saved and i have the archives' result for task1, task2,...
It's really a problem because i can't saved more than one jobname !

And the little suggestion : an other built-in' Variable for Toucan : @jobname@, who take the name of the current jobname we put in task.
It's for to use in backup location for the file name.
ex: "%USERPROFILE%\Bureau\@jobname@ (@DD@_@MM@_@YYYY@)"

Hello,

First, thank's for this great soft ... very practice and usefull

I have something strange with error messages for a backup, still result is ok !
-If I do a jobname ("test") on backup. No problem, perfect result.

-If I do in "script" : Backup "test" : I have an error message : "There was an error reading from the jobs file, please check it is not set as read only or in use"
I put "no file as read only" for toucan\*.*, it was the same and not in use exept toucan himself. (still result is ok, archive is created and correct)

Is there a way to Sync and encrypt...kinda like doing the Backup method with the password field checked? Maybe do a Sync and some sort of script to zip and assign a password. Hopefully, I won't have to sync and then run another lengthy process to run the Secure job. Love the program though...thanks!

Hi all, I was using command line sync in 2.0.1 without any problems but in 2.0.2 and 2.0.2PR4 it's no longer completing the job. It copies one file and then dies. The intent of the job is to maintain a copy of my flash drive in the 'C:\Removable Disk' folder.

The command I'm running is:
cd PortableApps\Toucan\App\toucan
Toucan.exe "updatejob"

And the contents of the job.ini file is:
[General]
Version=202
[updatejob]
Source=@drive@\\
Dest=C:\\Removable Disk
Function=Mirror (Copy)
TimeStamps=0
Attributes=0
IgnoreReadOnly=0
IgnoreDaylightSavings=0
Rules=
Type=Sync
