apurvasheth Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I am using BT Sync to sycn approximately 250 GB of data from one computer to 3 other computers. I have all my data in a seperate partition drive so I am syncing the entire drive so all folder within the drive will sync.I setup everything and left the computer on today so that the sync could continue. Since all 4 computers are my computers I used the regular sync and NOT read only sync.I came back to my PC after about 12 hours and was SHOCKED to see that a 22.4 GB folder that had my Outlook Files (Current and Archives) for the past 6 years. I save Outlook Files in My Documents folder. The default My Doc folder is in C Drive but since all my data is on a seperate partition drive I have changed the defauly My Doc folder to a My Doc folder in the partition drive.So when I came to my PC and started Outlook I got a message that the data file was not found. I was SHOCKED. I was shocked to see the entire My Document folder of 22.4 GB sitting in the .SyncTrash folder. If this folder was not there then I would have lost my Outlook Files (Current and Archives) for the past 6 years.Can anyone tell me what went wrong here or if I did anything wrong?I came to BT Sync because my cousin recommended me but now I am not sure what to do.Please help!

kos13 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 What version of Sync you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apurvasheth Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 1.0.134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseelke Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The latest version is 1.1.115.Don't forget that Bittorrent Sync is in alpha testing. It is fairly safe, but not completely without issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apurvasheth Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Where can I get that from? The website I use does not have this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apurvasheth Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I used this website: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.htmlThanks everyone. But the issue I described originally - was that a known issue? Is that particular issue fixed in the new release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos13 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 We fixed a lot of bugs that were related to .SyncTrash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi folks. Since installing BT Sync a few days ago, I have twice experienced a similar problem. On each occasion several random folders have been deleted without any warning, and seemingly without any specific trigger event. Any help appreciated (although I suspect this may be buggy behaviour to be resolved in later versions).My setup:2 PCs running Win 7- BitTorrent Sync version 1.0.134- Computer A holds original directory which holds the shared directory and on which the r/w key was generated.- Computer B running a sync'd copy of the directory. This computer does from time to time go into hibernation.- Time and date on both computers are identical.Files seem to be deleted from both computer A and computer B, since most deleted files seem to appear in the .SyncTrash folders on each of computers A and B.Additionally extra folders have been created in the .SyncTrash directories. These directories have Windows NT style shortened directory names with 6 characters ending in a tilde (~1), For example if the original directory name was "long folder name", then the newly created .synctrash folder would be called "LONGFO~1". I haven't been quite able to work out if these folders are being created on the computer which was doing the deleting, or the other one which was subsequently being synced..I appreciate I am not running the latest version ot BitTorrent Sync, and hopefully any upgrade will resolve this problem. However any feedback most welcome. At this point I am very wary and reluctant to use the product if there is even a remote chance this problem can re-occur.Any help appreciated!
