FlashPan Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hello, For many years I've being running a 1 to 1 sync. eg: Source PC: Drive E: >>>>> Destination PC1: Drive E: Source PC: Drive F: >>>>> Destination PC1: Drive F: I'd now like to bring in a 2nd Destinaton PC but it will not have the same drive setup as the source. eg: Source PC (and Desination PC1) drive E and F are 4Tb each. Total of 8Tb. The new 2nd destination PC will have a single 8tb drive to sync to. Without partitioning it, can I sync to 2 folders on PC2 (to mimic Drive E and F) while still syncing to 2 drives on PC1? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 You are completely free of drives. If you want to keep that separate, only two kinds of directories are required. That is completely sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannaroo Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a similar issue. I'm using OMV5 and have setup resilio to backup my movie folder from one external drive. For example: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Movies:/sync That has worked fine. Now I want to backup my music folder but its located on another external drive. When I setup: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Music:/sync it said it cannot have a duplicate sync folder. So I changed it to: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Music:/sync2 But when I go to the web ui, it only seems to allow /sync - it does not recognise or see /sync2 How do I get the second external drive onto resilio please?

tannaroo Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I’ve made some progress but still getting errors. Modified as follows: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Movies:/sync/driveA /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Music:/sync/driveB On Resilio webUi, I can add the /sync/driveA folders but get an error message when trying to add /sync/driveB folders. Error message I get is ‘foldererror32795’ Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 You need to change the unix permission for the directory so that resilio could write into the directory to create it's .sync directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannaroo Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thanks Andy - I'm using OMV5 and the directory has read/write permissions (I checked that). Tried restarting but the underlying folder doesn't have the .sync folder. Is there a way to manually copy the .sync folder using windows explorer?

Andy+ Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 You can test that. Usually Resilio make All that. If doesnt work, try with 0777 permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannaroo Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Didn't work. How do I change to 0777 permissions using OMV5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Is Linux style for permissions for everyone. I dont know what is on OMV5, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
