Toucan

Is there a way to exclude a directory based on its path?

For instance say I have the following structure:
.\Project
.\Project\Build
.\Project\Helper
.\Project\Helper\Build

I'd like to backup .\Project but I want to exclude .\Project\Build.
If I enter .\Project\Build or Project\Build in the excludes the backup contains all 4 directories.
If I enter Build in the excludes it also excludes .\Project\Helper\Build and only backs up .\Project and .\Project\Helper.
It seems to be only looking at the directory name and not its path.

Is there a way to achieve this currently?

I may well be an idiot here but I want to use Toucan to sync a single file from a folder and the help files say

"The buttons on the right allow you to select a file or folder, depending on what is required."

The only buttons on the right are those to launch a folder browser or insert a variable. And if I put the full path to the file in the text boxes it tries to interpret it as a directory. What obvious thing am I missing?

hey there,

toucan seems to be a great tool - just that one, that i need for my backup tasks on my desktop pc. without a portable device.
is toucan able to do this job completely? normally there should be no difference, or am i wrong?

for sad, my first test of this failed: when i try to sync two identical folder with each other, a deleted file in the one folder will not be deleted in the other folder by usinge the "mirror" mode. but i need differential backup abilities... .

any suggestions?

thanks and thumbs up for principially great program!

kk

Alright I used Toucan but when I closed out Toucan and tried to reopen it it says it is still open so for me the only way I could close it was with Windows Task Manager. I figure to let you know to fix the problem.

What is this? Gees?

Congratulations.

Haha, I'm never trusting FF spellcheck, it just gave me.

Coagulations. Lol.

Kudos on the backup tool. Definitely an improvement over the 3 options that the menu backup tool gives us. (Any way to have the menu default to Toucan instead of PAB?)

I've been using Toucan for about 2 weeks now, the beta obviously before this most recent official release. Anyway, I posted a similar question on the beta forum 2 or so weeks ago. That problem has been fixed in the new version, but another one has come up. So here are the details...

Firstly kudos to Steve for a top portable app. Toucan is exactly what I've been waiting for

My only issue is that the synchronization utility does not really support 'full sync' between two folders where both may be considered the 'master'.

Hi,

I used Toucan for the first time and tested encryption and decryption on a important folder. As I realize now this was an mistake, because all my data is not readable anymore.

I use the mirror function to back up bookmarks, because simply copying them over will mean deleted bookmarks are still present in the back up folder.

But I can't seem to get mirror to work in Toucan. It starts and goes straight to Finished...without doing anything. Anyone found the same?
