trcr Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have two database files I'd like to read-only sync. 1. Microsoft Access file about 95 meg. Mostly static, but at key hours (5pm to 7pm) may have up to 45 record updates/creation per minute. Only two users update the system. 2. Btrieve database about 19 meg. Very static. May have up to 5 record updates/creation per minute from 8am to 10am. Only one user updates the system. Both databases run our business, so I'm hesitant to implement if this would corrupt them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Whilst BTsync is not out of beta, I would recommend to make one or multiple backups of anything you want to test-run through BTsync. Once you have that, you can test it out. BTsync should not write anything to the db-files in your shares if it is the only master-node. The RO-nodes might get corrupted, as BTsync on the master-node will synchronise without caring about other processes accessing the files.

ChrisH Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Try it out, but I'm guessing BTSync won't even open the files as long as at least one Access instance is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
