  • The current version can load a profile from a json file using the --create option.  However, the profile will be written to the registry.  A registry independent version needs more work.
  • Build 536 fixed the email from field issue:        32 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win32_1.5_536.exe        64 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.5_536.exe        XP:     https://acrosync.com/win32/acros…
  • For backups older than 30 days, one backup every 7 days is kept.  For backups older than a day, one backup per day is kept. This is currently non-configurable.  You'll have to write a script on the server side.
  • A new build with this delimiter change is alive on our website.  Please let me know if you find any issues.
  • Currently the include/exclude patterns are split by spaces, so the wildcard is the only workaround. If this workaround doesn't work for you in your use case, I can make a change to split the patterns using a different delimiter like ';' if that deli…
  • After the backup, if you copy the 'hardlinks' folder to an external HD, I suspect most copy tools won't preserve hard links, and you would get two distinct but identical 'file1' on the external HD.  So the answer is probably no.
  • This is how I tested it: On a linux machine, I created 'file1' that is 100 MBytes in length. I then downloaded the directory with the 'create incremental snapshots' options enabled.  This gave me a subdirectory named '2016-0115-10' on the Windows ma…
  • This has been fixed in the new build:        32 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win32_1.5_532.exe        64 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.5_532.exe        XP:     https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_in…
  • You can try this new build:        32 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win32_1.5_532.exe         64 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.5_532.exe         XP:     https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_…
  • Do you have verbose logging enabled?  If so, then it looks like the blocking was indeed caused by the failure to open 'media_p9nx2wjjem.mta'. You can use the Shadow Copy option to get rid of those open errors.
  • If you are using a timeout of 3600 seconds and still get the blocking error, then it is definitely blocked, which is likely caused by issues in the libssh2 library. There are two workarounds.  The first is to change to the rsync daemon mode (by disa…
  • Starting from version 1.5, you add a registry entry 'TransmissionTimeout' under HKCU/Software/Acrosync/AcrosyncClient to set the number of seconds Acrosync will wait before reporting this error.
  • This option is available in the Windows version but not in the Mac version.  The next Mac update will be a bug fixing update and will not include this feature.
  • A windows service is usually run under the local system account, which doesn't seem to have the SE_BACKUP_NAME privilege required by the Shadow Copy service.  You can change the user account for the Acrosync service by running services.msc.
  • When you close the Acrosync main window, it will just go 'minimized'.  This is intentional -- Acrosync is designed to run in the background without intervention so you don't want to accidentally terminate the program when you only mean to close the …
  • You're right.  My decision to discard the 'latest' backup that is too old was based on the thought that even partial backups have their values -- they may contain big changes already uploaded so discarding them will cause subsequent backups to uploa…
  • What you described in your first post is right.  Acrosync only creates/updates the 'latest' file after a completed backup.  If the backup fails, the 'latest' file will not be created/modified.  If you run the backup again, Acrosync will use multiple…
  • To check the service status,  run services.msc in the Run dialog. If you install it correctly, you will see a service called AcrosyncClient.  The status should be 'Started' before you run Acrosync. When you start Acrosync with administrator rights, …
  • Acrosync for Windows actually has minidump support -- if it crashes you'll see a dialog telling you where the minidump file is.  However, if you run Acrosync as a service then the crash handling won't work. If that is the case you can try procdump t…
  • Just an update:  version 1.5 has been released and it should fix the memory leaks.
  • Acorsync for Windows 1.5 is now available for download. Release notes: Acrosync can be configured to run as a Windows service if the installer is run with administrator rights.  Please refer to the User Guide for details for this featureOptimized me…
  • You can first try to activate without entering an activation code.  Acrosync will try to download the license from our license server.  If that doesn't work, it means the license ID on your machine has changed.  You can email [email protected]
  • You'll need to login.  The auto start feature is implemented using SMLoginItemSetEnabled which controls whether to run the application on login time according to Apple's doc.
  • Also, I tested libssh with public key authentication.  Both RSA and DSA keys worked fine.  Don't know why it failed in your test.
  • Thank you for tracking down the issue.  Yes, I need to add keep alive messages during the indexing of the local directory.
  • This is a good idea, but I don't think it is an essential feature so I'll just add it to the 'maybe' list.
  • If you install the new 1.5 version from here:         32 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win32_1.5_527.exe        64 bit: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.5_527.exe        XP:     https://acrosync.com/win32/ac…
  • Decided to push back the work on the rsync server.  This is mainly because Microsoft is working on SSH support that is said to be available early 2016.  This could affect how the rsync server is implemented (for instance, whether to include a built-…
  • I think the latest 1.4 version can include the log in the email body.  You may be running a beta version; if so just download the latest installer from our website and reinstall it. Or you may want to try this 1.5 build that has fixed many issues in…
