I like the product, but the "mirroring" seems to be a bit overstated.
I am attempting to use it now by having turned on VVEngine to run my profile when changes are detected. The only problem is that I have 541,000 files on my drive and everytime it kicks off the profile, it scans all 541,000 files just to detect that I added or updated 1 file.
A true mirroring product would only have to work with the updated/added data.
I would love to see it work in a true mirroring fashion. |

Hi, the ability to mirror without scanning the entire source and target is something we will be adding to VVEngine. VVEngine will monitor file changes and then only the file that were changed will be checked during scanning.

That would be great!
What I ended up doing was breaking it into smaller sub-directories and excluding some directories that I knew would never change (CD ISO extracts).
That helped, but the other problem that cropped up is when you start copying files across you run into disk contention because VV is reading the directories while you are also copying the files across and it slows down the overall process of file copy/update.
Can't wait for the new feature! I love this software!
Do you have a target date for the release of the new functionality? |

We do not have an exact release date yet. I do not think it will be in the next VVEngine release because that will be a 'maintenance' release... probably in the one after, but I do not have exact dates available!

Just to let TGRMN know a few other folks would really appreciate this feature. I wrote the post below before I checked it might already be here

Just as Dave I am running into the same problem.
I love the filesystem change monitor.
This obviously is must-have feature compared to doing prehistoric scheduled replication.
I currently use ViceVersa to keep a dataset on 2 on-demand fileservers in sync. This dataset consists of a couple of terabytes and hundreds of thousands of files. Since these servers usually have 1000+ simultaneous users I need IO performance to be top notch. It is pretty obvious what happens when a local and remote treelisting is requested after a new file is uploaded. Not only will running the profile take alot of time, it will also bring IO performance down ALOT. Splitting up the directory tree into multiple profiles is not an option here.
I have no idea how sophisticated the filesystem monitor is but I think it might / could also know where the change takes place. It would be a really great feature if VV could only sync the part of the tree that is actually used.
I would be happy to mannualy resolve replication conflicts doing a full run when needed. This would save alot of time and performance.
I now realise this should be an official feature request |

Mirroring without Scanning Entire Source
Has this feature been implemented yet?
I saw a post about this dated back in November of 2006 & its now March of 2007.
Also.. I'm new to this product and do not see how to enable the Mirroring in Real Time regardless of whether it scans the entire Source or not. Can you point me in the right direction to set this up?
FYI - So far I am very happy with the product. Just disappointed that its taken this long to find out about it. I've been using a similar feature product for years but it has had numerous on going issues not to mention being over priced. |

Bump. 
This feature would be greatly appreciated, and would certainly mean that I would recommend this product for alot of systems.
