I Lose Changes On Files (Word, Excel) When Btsync Is Syncing

[gerod]

Hallo to all the community.

I'm a newbie. I live in Venice and I use BT Sync on my macs.

I have a problem when I use word and excel and sync is ON.

When I save the file (for example a word file) and close it and the reopen, it didn't have the last changes.

 

I explain.

 

I have 2 macs. The laptop (Mountain Lion) is the master, iMac (Mavericks) is the slave (folders and file read only - Laptop --> iMac).

I work only on my laptop.

The problem happened 3 times for different file and only with BTsync syncing.

 

I'm working on a word file, sync ON, and I save it several time (autosave every 5 min + file backup on the same folder). At 9:40 I saved for the last time the file and saved as PDF. I close it and a went to the folder to open the pdf: it disappeared!

I noticed that the word file was saved, for the last time, at 8:56 but I saved it at 9:40.

I noticed that the file saved at 8:56 is the same in the iMac folder.

I have lost all the changes done and I need to make all the changes from the original file.

 

I don't understand why.

I'm using 1.2.82 version for OSx.

Thanks.

Roberto

This is a known issue, replacing files with old versions. Probably you will find the new ones in the .SynArchive folder on the IMac.

 

A good workaround is to "Save As" with a new filename until this behavior is fixed in a future version.

Known where?

Has there been any news on this issue?

 

I have searched the forums but can't see that this is "a known issue" as stated above.

It seems that your file was not saved successfully. My experience may be helpful to others who have the same problem. I didn't save the Excel file before closing it, and the recent file didn't help me find it. I had to look for other methods, and finally I restored Excel to a previous version and retrieve unsaved Excel.

Hello jocko, if I put this link on other irrelevant pages, you have reason to accuse me of being a spamer. However, can you insert your finger into your nostrils and swear that there is no useful method for this post in the link I mentioned?
