Synctoy type plugin

  • Hi
    So I've had a MS2102 server in my home for years. On that and other Windows computers I've used synctoy. I like it because it's simple and it don't stop transfers on dumb errors like not having access to a thumbnail or some other silly transfer errors that can pop up and wait for a prompt before continuing.


    Now I have a OMV box that I've built and I'm loving it so far. I'm a newb to most of Linux but have goofed with it.
    When I ran synctoy to sync files from the new OMV server as source and 2012 server as remote. The transfers we're really slow I thought.


    So I was wondering if there it's a plug-in that will sync folders from my OMV server to the 2012 server without coughing up dumb errors to stop the sync.
    I'm only looking to sync these folders once a month.
    Any advice on the easiest way to accomplish this?


    Thanks for the help. It's made me tired and I need to sleep before I mess with figuring this out.

  • It dépends on the way the two servers are linked.


    You can still use synctoy in Win 2K12 with a SMB share of your OMV for example.


    For the transfert speed, that seems more of a network problem than a synctoy or rsync one IMO.

  • Yes you are probably right. Maybe I'm expecting to much I have allot off media being synced. And both machines are connected to the same gigabit switch they sit side by side. I was thinking the data would have to travel twice if I used synctoy on the windows box.
    And the first sync does take longer but I thought they were direct copys of each other. I'm gonna start it back up and just let it finish.

  • How are you two server linked ? What speed transfert do you have ?

  • They are on the same lan switch.
    Synctoy don't show speed but network transfers are okay. I'm going to double check the folders to make them the same. I guess I expected synctoy to just check the folders and be done and it started transfering files and it made me doubt it.

  • Synctoy works fine, I used it for years with my 2k12 NAS home server.


    Else, you can set a rsync/cron job on the linux side to di the same.

  • Why not use something on Windows server instead of the nas?

  • yes that's exactly what I'm trying to do is use win2012 to do the folder syncs.
    I want this because then I don't have to enable more samba shares.
    If I give the family to many choices it becomes a headache. And if I enable more samba shares for OMV to do the sync the family will find a way to screw that up and always be in the wrong Dir watching shows.


    Sync toy was acting weird on 2012. Saying it would need days to sync folders that are direct copys of each other. Freefilesync took 4 hours to dunce 15Tb or so of folders. I have been using the freefilesync program with success so far but the jury is still out.
