pigzilla Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have run into this issue twice, yesterday and today. I have two Windows 7 machine running, my laptop and PC, and both have the latest BTSync Windows client installed. I have setup my laptop as master and give the read only secrete to the PC(so it's slave) to use it to backup the entire drive D: of my laptop.Now the issues is, I found a lot of .!sync files apprear on my laptop. After looking into those files very carefully, I can confirm that those are the files that originally were on my laptop, but were deleted or moved to another folders later. While BTSync is always on in the background, those files are backuped to my PC. But later after they have beed removed from their original location on laptop, the PC pushed it back. But very strangely, with a .!sync extention. I was even watching this happen under my eye by delete some of the .!sync file and refresh the file manager to see them get back in seconds. Fortunately this behavior does not happen all the time, I have delete/removed many files on the laptop but only some of them get back.While using a read only secrete the master is supposed to not receving any write from the slave, isn't it? This is a serious issue as it messed up the source data. Please fix it asap, very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigzilla Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just noticed the same issue on my Andorid phone. This time I setup the phone to backup its internal and external sdcard to the laptop. And later I noticed quite a few .!sync files appeared on the sdcard which supposed to be old deleted files.
