SyncBackSE V5 (shareware) :: RE: Receive error that destination drive may be full

Hi, actually, this is not a Windows error message but one from SyncBack itself. If a copy (or move) fails, it does some checks to try and see what the cause of the problem is, e.g. is the file locked, maybe it no longer exists, is the disk full, etc. For this check it is comparing the size of the source file with the amount of free space that Windows says is on the destination drive.

Please submit a support ticket with the debug log as buried somewhere in the debug log will be the error message Windows sent us. The following explains how to produce a debug log:

Is it possible that you have user disk quota limits? That could possibly be why it says the disk is full when it's actually not.

Hi

We don't run Exchange here and do not offer specific support for it. If you do a search in this forum and the SE forum (or, the whole forum en masse) on 'exchange' you should pick up tips from others. I seem to recall one in particular mentioning that while a Backup is possible a Restore of an Exchange store is not a simple process, and you can't just do an overwrite (or similar). You may need to do research on this - it's not something we have experience with, sorry

Try checking it then? And review your Windows folder's subfolders - some of them may have been included by virtue of not ignoring them previously

Just noticed you also mentioned C:\i386 but only mentioned that the Windows folder was unchecked - so I'm not sure whether that one was de-selected as well, or if you really mean C:\Windows\i386\ (Sorry, I only run XP on a Virtual PC now, and it doesn't have an i386 folder at all - can't remember where such a folder is stored by default - and anyway, yours might not be in the default location)

Using SyncbackPro (current release) on SBS 2003 server in test/eval mode to FTP user folders and application data to a remote server. I need to know the best procedure for using SyncbackPro to backup (FTP) the Exchange database to the remote server. Thank You.

It uses Windows API calls (which ones depend on which file-copying method you've chosen). See Modify > Expert > Copy - Delete. It might be interesting to try other methods and see if the same errors arise

Thank you for your answer.

The server (destination) runs Win2003 and the clients (sources) are PCs all running XP and all NTSF.

So you are saying that SBSE is just posting the Windows message in the log, and that SBSE is doing that properly. If so, I'd like to know what command/process/program SBSE is using that makes Windows post such message; then I can go to Microsoft with the issue.

Thank you again.

Sorry but the freeware is pretty much out of development now, except perhaps for bug-fixes (that we aren't aware of already)

What you see is what you get. Our development time is pretty much completely taken up with SE & Pro (and InfoHesive). There are only so many hours in the day...

Hi

It's Windows (or whatever OS that network server is running) that's sending the error back (via Windows on the PC running SE). Is the remote device a NAS? If so, is it formatted as FAT32? (Many are, to make them compatible with Macs, and thus increase their sales potential). FAT32 has a max filesize of 4GB. Many people try to copy DVD ISOs to such devices and are unhappy when they cannot, for example

SyncBackSE V5 (shareware) :: Receive error that destination drive may be full

Subject: Receive error that destination drive may be full

I receive the following error on most of the sychronizations that run:
"Failed to copy from [Source Folder] : The drive [Destination Folder]
may be full or read-only"
However, when checking the "offending" folder it is not Read-only and certainly not full as the destination drive is on a network server with several gigabytes of free space.

We are running SynchBackSE and after I upgraded to V5.5.0.9 the problem seems worse than on V5.3.0.18.

I checked all profiles for the following (They are all set up the same):

- Copy/Delete > Advanced > Do nor overwrite read-only files and Do not delete read-only files are both un-ticked.

- Compare Options > Attributes > Do not copy read-only files is un-ticked.

I'd appreciate it if anyone has any ideas/suggestions

Thank you,
Bente

SyncBack V3 (freeware) :: feature suggestion - time dependent errors

First of all, thank you for an awesome free (as in beer) tool! I have a wonderful user experience with it.
I have one significant problem with using SyncBack - I get at least one error in almost every synchronization. (I realise that many of these are due to feature differences between the freeware version and the commercial versions, but still)
The result is that I don't really look at the errors, and if ever there was an error that is actually signficant, I would probably not notice it. To solve this, I would suggest adding the following configuration item:
Only display errors after failing to synchronize a file for: [ ] minutes/hours/days/weeks
(of course, there should be a checkbox to enable this item, as most users would want to see an error as soon as a sync fails)
I would set this something like 4 days, so that I would only get errors if problems like file locking/network issues etc. were preventing a changed file from being synched over a long period of time.

Thanks again,
Privman
