adam1v Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have around 1TB of data I would like to add to my BT Sync list, which will be split in 5/6 sync tasks. If I was to copy the data manually to the other location(s), would btsync still want to Sync ALL data or is there a way I can trick it?

florentm Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I already tested that by "preloading" 1tb of files with a USB drive for the first transfer it's working fine. You just need to wait that all the file are checked by btsync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 will this also work if the other side will becom a read-only copy? for me its a pure backup location so i dont want it writable.in the past that hasent worked for me with read-only. does 1.4 fix that? //UPDATE: i just tested and it seems that this is still the case. My Steps:created 2 Folders on each PC with identical filesPC\1TEST-ROPC\1TEST-RWPC\2TEST-ROPC\2TEST-RW added both on PC1, closed BTSync on PC1started BTSync on PC2 and added the ReadOnly Key for TEST-RO and ReadWrite Key for TEST-RWTEST-RW gets indexed but TEST-RO does notseconds after i start BTSync on PC1 TEST-RW is done, but TEST-RO is doing a full-pull from PC1 to PC2 would be great to enable the PreCopy also for RO Syncs.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
