Thank you for the excellent response

[Syncing Of Media Servers Over The Internet]

Hi, I currently have 2 separate media servers. One in my apartment (Server1), and one at my parents house (Server2). Up until now I have been ripping the content to Server1 and then every month or so I have brought a hard drive with the new content to my parents house to add it to theirs as well.

 

But now that I am getting a fiber connections I want to start using Sync instead. And I am what will happen when I activate the sync in the following scenario.

 

I recently did a cleanup on the content on Server1, I used to have a multiple versions of one movie (for instance a DVD rip and a Blu-ray remux), but in the cleanup I removed all the lower quality versions. But I have not done this on Server2 So now it looks something like this:

 

Server1:

Movies\HDRemux\Attack the Block\Attack the Block.mkv

 

 

Server2:

Movies\DVDRips\Attack the Block\Attack the Block.mkv

Movies\HDMovies\Attack the Block\Attack the Block.mkv

 

 

(The Remux version is not yet added to server 2)

 

 

 

What will happen if I activate a "read only sync" from server 1 to server 2, will it only add the remux version, or will it add the remux version and remove the other 2 versions?

 

Am I better off just wiping Server2 and starting fresh?

 

For syncing on my local network I am using SyncToy and I love how it has three options for it sync job:

 

 - Synchronize: Everything (new files, renames deletions etc) is moved from A to B and B to A.

 - Echo: Everything (new files, renames deletions etc.) is moved from A to B only.

 - Contribute: New and updated files, as well as renames are copied from A to B only.

 

Would love to have similar settings for BitTorrent Sync
