Q. Does CopySynch copy folder attributes? A. Yes. This is the default setting. Attribute transfer rules can also be configured for each Copysynch Job.
Q. Does CopySynch copy file time stamps? A. Yes. This is the default setting, however date transfer rules can be changed for a CopySynch job.
Q. Does CopySynch copy the folder timestamp? A. Yes. Starting in version 3.31 CopySynch copies the folder timestamp when a folder is copied or created in the target. It does not copy the timestamp if the folder already existed on the target. This feature is available when CopySynch is run on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003.. To copy folder time stamps, ensure that Copy Folder Timestamps is checked in the Folders tab of the Job Properties dialog.
Q. Does CopySynch copy Windows NTFS security information? A. Starting with Version 4.0 Copysynch copies all NTFS security information. The options are available in the Security tab of the Job Properties dialog.
Q. Does CopySynch copy Novel NDS or Bindery security information? A. No.
Q. What is the difference between copy and synchronize? A. Copy performs a one-way file copy. Only the target folder will be updated. Synchronize performs a two-way file copy to ensure that the latest version of each file exists in both the source and target folders. The result is that both folders will contain the same files. This option is useful for synchronizing files on your laptop computer with files on your desktop computer or a network drive.
Q. What is the difference between copy and mirror A. Copy copies files from the source to the target folder. If there were already files in the target folder that do not correspond to files in the source folder, they will remain untouched. Mirror duplicates the source folder to the target folder. Files in the target folder that do not correspond to files in the source folder will be deleted.
Q. Does CopySynch include a retry feature? A. Yes. The retry immediately feature was introduced in version 3.3. There is currently no Retry at End of Job feature. This feature will be added in a later release.
Q. Why would I run a job as a low impact job? A. When copying large files on local disk drives your system may appear busy, even though CPU utilization is not high. CopySynch is moving large amounts of data on the disk and the operating system may waiting to access the swap file to respond to your input. When a job is run as a low impact job, CopySynch pauses disk I/O periodically to allow the operating system and disk I/O subsystem to catch up. This option should be used only if you want to run CopySynch and other applications on your computer the same time and have noticed performance degradation. The job will take slightly longer.
