sketchpad Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi, I'm new to this so forgive me if what I'm doing is not ideal. So I have 2 freenas servers, one at home, one offsite. I want to sync approx 500Gb of data that is on my home server to the offsite server. I copied the data from home server and pasted into a folder with the same name on the second server, linked the folders and paused the home server to allow the files to index before unpausing the home server for syncing. Resilio wants to resync all files which will take 6 days. Am I doing something in the wrong order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 how you verify that it indeed wants to re-sync data? when you connect two non-empty folders, Sync is to first merge the folder tree - here you can see all your files to be showing in up/download queue in peers list. It does not mean what files are being re-synced. And check that you indeed have the right directories connected - enable column Path and see if that's the dir you need.

laurin1 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 FYI, I do the same thing (regularly) and found that if I exited Sync, rather than use Pause, I did not have this issue. Seems that Pause only pauses the actual Sync, not the monitoring of file changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 indeed, pause stops only file transfer (explained here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchpad Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 bit of a late update here folks but as some of you had probably guessed the fault was with how I seeded the destination folder. Copy and pasting the data kept the file timestamps correct but changed the folder dates. I re-seeded using robocopy commands which maintained the folder timestamps and everything worked as it should.
