  1. Sync Vs Backup

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    At the moment, there is no background service, the application is only running when you see the notification icon is shown in the notification area. And I like it that way :)

     

    I'm running the app on Nexus 5 (android 4.4.4). The Sync notification is there and shows as running. I have a backup setup for the camera pictures folder. If I take a picture, nothing happens until I actually start the Sync app, then I see "2 devices online" and the upload starts... Shouldn't the upload start automatically if the BitTorrent Syinc notification is there and shows it as running?

    @ioan, Sync needs to be running to backup your photos to another device. If Sync isn't running, your photos will be backed up the next time Sync is run.

     

    Still not clear enough for me :-) BTW, my question is for Android. Doesn't Sync have a service that runs in background all the time watching for changes in the folder selected for backup?

    i.e. when you take more photos on your camera, and run Sync, sync will "backup" these new photos to your external computer

     

    Does this mean that I have to run Sync on my phone manually for the backup to start or as soon as I take a photo, the photo will be backed up?
