Btsync + Drive Cloning/restoring


Recommended Posts

This might be a bit dumb question but here it goes. I figured it is better to ask..

 

What will happen if I restore an older disk image/clone, which includes sync folders for BitTorrent Sync. Will these restored older files then overwrite newer files on my other computers?

 

The FAQ says: "We give human action first priority and always consider it right. That's why if several files with the same name are added on different devices, BitTorrent Sync will synchronize the file that was the latest added to BitTorrent Sync even if it is not the newest version of the file itself".

 

Will the program consider restored files/folders as "newly added" or does it replace those with file versions from other computers?

 

I plan to sync between Windows 7/8 and OSX. I have my sync folders set up on disks separate from OS on all systems. It is possible that at some point I may have to restore just these disks without the system. 

 

Thanks in advance!
