Yes, you can set up automatic file synchronization, file replication or file backup, using one of the following tools: 1) Use the Windows Task Scheduler and the ViceVersa Command Line (ViceVersa PRO and PLUS). Command line options for ViceVersa are documented in the help file. 2) Use VVScheduler (ViceVersa PRO). VVScheduler is included in the ViceVersa PRO download and can be accessed from the 'Tools' menu. VVScheduler can schedule multiple profiles to run periodically at a certain time. 3) Use VVLauncher (ViceVersa PRO). VVLauncher is included in the ViceVersa PRO download. VVLauncher can schedule one profile at a time and can run it as soon as file changes are detected in folders. 4) Use VVEngine See the different tools' capabilities in the Scheduling Comparison Chart
It is quite rare to exceed 259 characters for a file path name. If that is needed, ViceVersa PRO 2 now supports long path names exceeding 259 chars. To enable this in a specific folder use the prefix "\\?\". To specify a UNC path, use the "\\?\UNC\" prefix.
ViceVersa treats Outlook Files (.PST) as any other file. When synchronization is activated, ViceVersa overwrites the older PST file with the newer PST file, based on the files' timestamps. Please note: ViceVersa does not synchronize individual Outlook e-mails, contacts, appointments.
Yes. ViceVersa PRO is designed to run on Windows 2003 Server (and on Windows 2000 Server). ViceVersa PRO can be setup to run continuously as a Windows Service using the VVLauncher tool (included in the ViceVersa PRO download) or using our most advanced scheduling tool VVEngine ViceVersa PRO supports also the 64-bit version of Windows 2003 Server: more info
Yes, ViceVersa works with CD/DVD Recordable/ReWritable drives (CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-RW) if a proper device driver is installed and configured with your drive. The driver should make the CD/DVD behave like a large floppy disk. Nero InCD (part of Nero 6 or later) and Roxio DirectCD (part of Easy Media Creator) are two products that work with various CD/DVD drives and makes them look like large floppy disks. Check with your CD/DVD documentation.
Please refer to the following article at http://www.ezlan.net/direct.html www.ezlan.net has lots of useful information regarding HOME and SOHO networking issues. TGRMN Software highly recommends ezlan.net.
ViceVersa uses the timestamp that Windows assigns to every file. To identify file conflicts, i.e. files that have changed both in source and in target, and to keep track of file deletions, ViceVersa PRO uses a tracking database.
Every time you run a project/profile, ViceVersa compares the files in source and in target to see if they have changed. ViceVersa powerful preview feature shows you exactly what is going to happen before any files are touched. Preview even gives you the possibility to copy/delete individual files and to reconcile file conflicts. ViceVersa PRO can also be scheduled using VVScheduler or run at Windows' start-up, shut-down or as soon file changes are detected using VVLauncher (included in the ViceVersa PRO download). See List of ViceVersa PRO and PLUS features
This error does not happen when you run ViceVersa manually by clicking on "Compare". This can occur if you are working with a mapped network drive. Drive mappings may not be available when a scheduled task runs even if you set up the task to log in with your user name and password. Solution:
When ViceVersa overwrites an older file with a newer file, first it copies the new file to a temporary file in the destination folder. Only after the copy operation completes successfully, ViceVersa replaces the older file with the temporary file. So, in case of a connection failure only the temporary file is affected. Just run ViceVersa again when the connection is restored, the temporary file will be removed.
During file synchronization a file conflict occurs when a file has changed in both locations (source and target) since the last sync, making it difficult to determine which version should be left unchanged and which version should be updated. For example, if you've changed a document on your desktop computer since the last synchronization and also made a different change to the same document on your laptop, a file conflict will occur. ViceVersa PRO (ViceVersa Plus does not track file conflicts) will mark file conflicts in the comparison window with a ** in front of the name and will also report conflicts in the log file and the scheduler, so that you can decide which version you want to keep and which version you want to update.
In one-way sync, files are copied only from a primary location (source) to a secondary location (target) in one direction, but no files are ever copied back to the primary location. Replication and Backup (=Mirroring) are one-way sync methods in ViceVersa. In two-way sync, ViceVersa copies files in both directions, keeping the two locations in sync with each other. Synchronization and Consolidation are two-way sync methods in ViceVersa. You might set up a one-way sync to backup your files to the network, for example, where ViceVersa will copy every new files from your computer to the network but never to copy files in the other direction (from the network to your computer). When files are deleted from your computer they are also deleted from the network. You might set up a two-way sync between a desktop and a laptop computer, for example, where ViceVersa will copy the newest version of any file it finds to the other location, overwriting any older versions of the same file. This is a good way to sync if you work with the same files on both computers and want to make sure you always have the most recent version of every file you have worked on, no matter which computer you are using. During a two-way sync, ViceVersa will alert you whenever it finds a conflict, which typically occurs when a file has changed in both locations since the last sync. Rather than overwrite either of the files that have been updated since the last sync, ViceVersa will show the conflict and you can decide which version to keep.
* The special ViceVersa PRO 2 installer for Windows 64-bit can be downloaded from here: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item74.htm For other operating systems such as Unix, Linux or Netware, as long as the machines running these platforms are visible to the Windows machine, ViceVersa can synchronize and replicate files. ViceVersa must run on one of the supported operating systems listed above.
When using VSS Volume Shadow Copies in Vista, ViceVersa PRO gives this error message if you try to copy an Outlook OST file: This is by design in Windows Vista. Windows Vista Volume Shadow Copies do not include Outlook OST files. << Maintaining changes to .ost files within shadow copies is expensive in terms of space and I/O activity. The performance impact doesn’t occur during the image backup itself--the only extra work at backup time is backing up the .ost file as part of the image. Instead, the performance impact occurs during the ongoing, everyday I/O to the .ost file when Outlook is running. If the .ost changes were kept in shadow copies, then every time Outlook writes to the .ost file, the result is a copy-on-write I/O hit (2 writes, 1 read). Although we have worked to reduce the impact of copy-on-writes on shadow copies, a heavily churned file like an .ost file could still cause problems. For these reasons, and the fact that .ost files can be regenerated, we chose to delete .ost files from the shadow copy before the image is created. Even if the performance issues didn’t exist, there are situations where Exchange will, after an .ost is restored, detect a “future” version of the .ost file and force you to delete and then regenerate the local .ost file. Therefore, it’s still preferable to regenerate an .ost file instead of restoring it. >> Hence, OST files cannot be copied with ViceVersa PRO using VSS Volume Shadow Copies, on Windows Vista. To prevent ViceVersa PRO from reporting this error with OST files and VSS, exclude the OST file from the profile. Add an exclude file filter to exclude the file "outlook.ost", under profile settings -> file filters.
Yes, when you can "see" the source and target folders using Windows Explorer and you can manually copy/move/delete files between the two machines. ViceVersa will have no problem in synchronizing or mirroring the folders. The type of connection is not important. This includes connections such as LAN, WAN, VPN, Bluetooth and also storage media such as external Hard Disks, Network Disks, USB Disks, Zip Drives, USB Keys, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, etc.

By default the VVLauncher service is installed under the LocalSystem account. The LocalSystem account does NOT have access to network drives. To access the network you need to run the VVLauncher service under a user account which has access to the network drive.
Note: Do not use mapped drives to access the network. Instead use UNC paths ( eg \\server\share\ ). Services do not recognize mapped drives.
You are probably running the VVLauncher service under the "Local System" account. The "Local System" account does not have access to network resources. This is causing the error.
Backup programs are designed to backup files. To "backup files" is to make copies of files (replication) and store them on a separate media to be used in case the primary files are lost or corrupted. ViceVersa replication and archive features are designed to create secure backup copies of files and folders. Backups are essential for all work. For important work, two or three backup sets are advisable. To be especially safe, backup sets should be kept in different locations. Backup files can be stored compressed and/or encrypted to save space.
CRC is the acronym for Cyclical Redundancy Checking. It is a type of algorithm known as a "hash". A hash algorithm accepts variable-length input and produces a fixed-length output which uniquely represents the input data. The hash is usually much shorter in length than the data it represents. A sample CRC value for a file could be ADE50E9F. In theory, no other file should produce the same hash value. ViceVersa calculates the CRC value of one file and compares it to the CRC of the corresponding file in the other folder. If the CRCs differ, the files differ. The CRC algorithm is widely used in network protocols and compression programs.
During File Synchronization, File Replication, File Mirroring or File Backup, older files are overwritten by newer files or they are deleted if their counterpart has also been deleted. ViceVersa PRO enables archival of former versions of files which are changed or deleted. This is called the File Archiving feature. By using File Archiving, when a file is overwritten or removed during a run, the old file is first moved to an archive location, locally or over the network. Files moved to the archive location maintain the original timestamp. The timestamp of when they were moved is also encoded in the file name. Hence, multiple versions of files can be kept for a specified period of time. Extensive options in ViceVersa lets you to control how many versions of each file to keep, where and for how long: you can specify to keep old versions for X days, or up to X copies, or only for certain file names or extensions.
With ViceVersa PRO, files in Source and/or Target folders can be compressed to save space. For example, when backing-up from a PC/Server to an external USB drive, ViceVersa PRO can keep the files on the USB drive compressed. Each file on the USB drive is compressed using the GZIP format.
You can instruct ViceVersa PRO to keep files in Source and/or Target encrypted (and compressed). ViceVersa PRO provides AES-256 encryption. This feature is especially important when copying files to an external USB drive or over the Internet. For example, if you are using ViceVersa PRO to backup files to a portable USB drive, you can make use of the file encryption feature to keep all the files on the USB drive encrypted.
File Replication (File Mirroring) is a special type of File Synchronization, where:
For more information see File Synchronization.
Synchronization is an adjustment that causes something to occur or recur in unison. Specifically, File Synchronization is an adjustment to files between two (or more) locations with the goal of making sure that the locations contain the same up-to-date files. Locations can be folders on LAN, WAN, VPN, USB drives, USB keys, CD-RW, Zip Disks, etc. Using this definition File Replication and File Mirroring (Backup) can be classified as special synchronization methods. ViceVersa supports several File Synchronization methods: Synchronization (Bidirectional) Backup (Mirror Source to Target) Replication (Refresh) Replication (Update) Consolidation
File Verification is the process of verifying that a file has not been changed and/or that two files are identical, bit by bit. ViceVersa supports both types of file verification. You can verify that files in a specified location have not changed by creating a snapshot of one or more folders at a given time and then re-comparing the folder content with the original snapshot at later time. You can also verify that two locations have exactly the same files, bit by bit: ViceVersa will calculate the CRC of each file to make sure they are indeed identical. A very important and common task for people working with CD creation is the verification that the data mastered is the same as the original data. For this purpose ViceVersa offers a Cyclical Redundancy Check. With ViceVersa you can determine if even one byte of data differs.
File Synchronization (a.k.a. File Sync) is the process of ensuring that two or more locations contain the same, up-to-date, files. If you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the synchronization process will add, change, or delete the corresponding file at the other location. Synchronization can be “two-way” or “one-way”. Two-Way Synchronization (a.k.a. bi-directional synchronization or both-ways synchronization):
One-Way Synchronization (a.k.a. file mirroring / file replication / file backup):
About Visual Synchronization (Side-by-Side) With ViceVersa you can synchronize files visually. ViceVersa will compare and analyze the files and folders in two or more locations and show you the files side-by-side, with all the changes that happened since last synchronization clearly marked. Show Me
Automatic Synchronization File synchronization can be run automatically, without user intervention, at intervals (i.e. every 10 mins, every 2 hours, etc.), scheduled (i.e. Monday and Friday at 7:00), real-time (i.e. as soon as file changes are detected), at startup or at shutdown.
Common Synchronization Scenarios
The end-goal is to make sure that the selected folders on computers and/or drives have the same, most current files.
Synchronization Between Non-Connected Computers For computers that are not connected to a network, synchronization can be achieved by using a portable USB drive.

ViceVersa is designed to make backup of your data fast and easy. Backups are essential for all data. To "backup files" is to make copies of files (replication/mirroring) and store them on a separate media to be used in case the primary files are lost or corrupted. It means that your files are safe and secure. You never know when your hard disk may crash or be attacked by a virus. You can feel secure knowing that ViceVersa has made a backup copy of all your data to a secondary location. With ViceVersa, you choose where you want to backup your data to. You can backup your data to different types of media such as a USB drives, external hard drives, to the LAN/network, to NAS, to CD/DVD, etc. Backup files can be stored compressed to save space and/or encrypted for security reasons, especially when the backup files are stored on portable hard disks. ViceVersa PRO makes backup easy by allowing you to create ‘profiles’ (descriptions of what and where you want to back up your data to). You can schedule backups to run hourly, daily, weekly, it is up to you. Where older backup tools took hours to backup data, ViceVersa makes backup of your files and folders fast because it detects and copies only those that have changed from the last backup. And with the innovative ViceVersa comparison window, you can clearly see which files have changed, which have been deleted etc. The PRO version of the ViceVersa software offers a vaste array of options for advanced users: you can control bandwidth and amount of CPU used by the backup process, you can copy files even if they are in use (e.g. Outlook files, Quicken files, SQL/database files, etc.), you can verify file's CRC values after copying to make sure your backup fils are integer, you can run custom scripts before and after the backup opration, you can keep multiple version of backup files (file archiving), run ViceVersa as a service on a server or on a client. ViceVersa PRO is the perfect backup solution for all users. From single users to corporations, ViceVersa makes securing your data easy, fast and reliable.
In ViceVersa PRO you can easily control the Bandwidth used and the Processor Load to prevent overloading your system while copying files. The Bandwidth that ViceVersa PRO uses while copying files can be set as a MB/Sec or KB/Sec max value. The Processor Load can be set as a percentage of the max CPU speed available. By using these settings you can setup ViceVersa PRO to work transparently without any impact on the resources of your system.

Many backup and synchronization solutions only work when scheduled or on demand. But what if something happens to the documents and files you are currently working on and the last backup only ran last night? You may have spent hours working on important documents and suddenly there's a power outage. Your documents are lost. If you setup ViceVersa PRO to backup, replicate or synchronize files in real-time this won't be a problem. ViceVersa PRO can backup, replicate or synchronize your files continuously, while they are being modified. Files can be saved to another location, such as another computer, a network drive, a USB drive, or even another folder on the same computer. ViceVersa PRO monitors files for changes in the background, using very little system resources. As soon as a file change is detected, the file is saved to the secondary location. Real-Time Backup is also known as Continuous Data Protection (CDP). Traditional backups can only restore data to the point at which the backup was done. With continuous data protection, there are no backup schedules. When data is written to disk, it is also written to a second location, usually an external USB drive, a NAS or another computer over the network.
Synchronization, Backup, Mirroring and Replication are all methods of copying files between 2 or more locations / folders. Synchronization potentially copies files in either direction, while Backup, Mirroring and Replication always copy files in one direction (a.k.a. \'pushing files\'). ViceVersa uses the modification timestamp of files to determine which files are newer. All methods copy only those files that are different. This means that repeating a backup will not copy any files, if no files have changed. Further Reading:
It is very easy to synchronize files and folders with ViceVersa PRO. This article shows how to use ViceVersa PRO for visual file synchronization. Beside visual file synchronization, ViceVersa can also be setup to run on-demand, at scheduled times, every x minutes, or continuously, while monitoring files for changes. Step 1: Select Source and Target folders.
Step 2: Click the 'Compare' button. The Comparison Window opens. Files and folders are shown side-by-side. Files are clearly marked as newer, older, added or removed since the last synchronization.
Step 3: Select 'Synchronization' as execution method (or Backup, or Replication) and then click the 'Execute' button. Done! Your source and target folders are synchronized. Note that all your settings can be saved to a file for the next time you start ViceVersa. You can also copy / delete individual files or group of files by using the context menu (right mouse-button click over a file)
For computers that are not connected to a network, file synchronization can be achieved using a portable USB drive. The objective is to synchronize files between a computer at home (Computer 1) and a computer at work (Computer 2), as shown in this illustration.
File synchronization is achieved in 2 steps:
At the end of the process the same up-to-date files will be on both computers and on the USB drive, useful for backup purposes. Steps 1 and 2 are repeated each time a synchronization is needed between the two computers.

This is a Visual Basic script which sends an e-mail notification after a profile run. You can install this script by following the 5 easy steps below:
Notes:
The following is an example of an e-mail sent by the script. Result: OK
Since Version 2, Build 2011, ViceVersa PRO supports local and global scripts. Scripts can be setup to run before and/or after a profile execution. Typically scripts before profile execution are run to prepare the computer environment. For example, mapping a network drive or connecting to a network resource. Instead, scripts after profile execution are run to disconnect from the network or to report, e.g. via e-mail, the results of a synchronization or a backup. Scripts can be Visual Basic scripts (*.vbs), batch files (*.bat, *.cmd) or Java scripts (*.js) Scripts can be global (a global script is run for all profiles) or local (a local script is only run for one profile). Global scripts must be located in the "GlobalScripts" folder in the ViceVersa PRO installation folder, usually 'c:\program files\ViceVersa PRO2\GlobalScripts' If you need to define multiple start scripts, the first script must be called 'global_start.ext', the second one 'global_start_1.ext', the third one 'global_start_2.ext' and so on, up to a max of 9. Same mechanism for the global end scripts: the first must be called 'global_end.ext', the second one 'global_end_1.ext', the third one 'global_end_2.ext' and so on, up to a max of 9. Once you have created and placed your global scripts in the GlobalScripts folder, you will need to activate the option "Run custom scripts before comparison" and/or "Run custom scripts after execution" in the profile settings for the profiles you wish to run the scripts for. If you do not activate these profile options, the profile will not run the global scripts before and/or after execution. Local scripts are run only for a specific profile. Differently from global scripts, local scripts must be located in the same folder as the ViceVersa profile file (.fsf file) and they must be called 'profilename_start.ext' for the script to run before execution, or 'profilename_end.ext' for the script to run after exection; profilename is the name of you profile, which you want to run the local script for. .ext can be one of the supported extensions, that is .vbs, .js, .bat or .cmd Also for running local scripts, you will need to activate one or both the options "Run custom scripts before comparison" and "Run custom scripts after execution" in the profile settings for the profiles you wish to run the local scripts for. |
