  1. So I thought I had successfully created a cloud on my EC2 instance, but it looks like I am missing one thing... I'm guessing it's a permission of some sort.

     

    I could post the link to where the interface is, but something tells me that might not be wise to do in a public setting, so I'm going to attach 2 screenshots.

     

    The web interface:

    And the Local interface:

    post-44484-0-78719600-1403816262_thumb.p

     

    You can see that in the local interface I have not been able to get the "Amazon Cloud" to accept anything. What are your thoughts on why it wouldn't be taking part in the sync?

    • Not syncing

      Can you verify that the other system is visible in the Devices tab?

      If the backup machine has a static IP, you may want to modify the properties of the sync folder

      on the source machine to "Use predefined hosts" and add the static IP of the backup machine (+ port).

      You will also have to configure the firewall to expose the port on which BTSync is listening (on the backup machine).

      At that point you can disable "use tracker server" and "use relay server". This usually fixes syncing issues for us.

    I can confirm that the machine is in the devices tab and the status says: [up arrow] 31.2 GB and I'm not sure what that means.

     

    I apologize for my ignorance, but I am pretty sure that the backup computer doesn't have a static IP address, and a few months ago I looked into using DNS services, but I just don't grasp how that works or what it means to get it setup... I gather that is along the lines of what you are suggesting.

  2. Both machines are Mac Pros but one is newer than the other.

    The other stuff is out my league, but I can give it a shot tomorrow.... But I'm serious if you're interested in working, let me know. And thank you so much for your awesome help!

  3. I have tried to setup my backup strategy using Bittorrent Sync, but I've run into several issues that are causing me to decide that I need to hire someone to help me get this setup.

     

    1. I have 1.7TB of data to sync. I started by cloning my storage drive and then taking it to a remote location where I then setup the sync, but I can see that there are consistent issues of not syncing. (I can see the change in history, but not in the syncArchive or in the folder where the change took place)

     

    2. Both systems are Mac OSX

     

    3. During sync the mouse can get pretty erratic, I'm cool with slowing down the sync if necessary, but I'm not sure which one I need to do or how much, etc.

     

    4. I know that with the API there are some cool things that can be done to streamline the process.

     

    5. I am using a second drive at the remote location to do a time machine backup of the sync drive.

     

    I think that since I treasure the backup process so much, and apparently I am just out of reach of the knowledge necessary, I should just hire someone who is smart enough for a few hours of work to get me stable and properly setup.  Hopefully they can understand why the sync is not consistent and help me get this locked up.

     

    Is it appropriate to ask this kind of thing in the forum?  I just need this to work and I'm not sure what else I need to do to get this done right with the right expertise and knowledge.

     

    Let me know if you are willing and able to work for hire and if you can help me.  I'd be happy to get you started ASAP.  I have full access to the remote computer via screenshare.

     

    Thanks!
