1) Right, a deleted file doesn't appear in the next incremental backup but it won't be removed from previous backups.
2) The changed file will be uploaded to the 'current' backup. Every hour Acrosync starts a full backup, and once it is done, any f…
@MaxGen, are you having trouble with scheduled tasks in the GUI mode or in the Service mode?
Here is a checklist to make sure that a profile will be run at the specified time by the Acrosync Service:The profile must be created by Acrosync in the GUI…
I think this is a bug. It doesn't seem like the delay of 2 seconds was handled properly.
Can you try this build https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.6_592.exe?
If the 2 second delay isn't enough, you can add a registry value HKCU\S…
Can you create a dump using the method described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27704301/generate-memory-dump-for-a-windows-service-that-stops-unexpectedly
There should some log messages when a profile is run by the scheduler. You can enable the Verbose Logging option to get more detailed messages.
When you run a profile from the command line, it logs to the directory set by the "Log to file" option i…
It could be that the connection was broken after the file had been completely uploaded. There was still some wrapping up to do, and if the connection failed at this stage Acrosync would think there was an error.
This is likely because you installed Acrosync for all users so you need to run Acrosync as administrator to make changes to the settings. Please exit the current Acrosync instance by right clicking the system tray icon and selecting Quit, then run …
But the modification time of the photo file uploaded by PhotoBackup is also correct if Backup Original is off, isn't it?

I think PhotoBackup gets the timestamp right when Backup Original is on, right? There maybe an offset of 1 second, but that is because we pass the --modify-window=1 option.
If the backup original option is disabled, then the modificationDate field instead of creationDate is used as the modified time of the photo file. Can you enable this option and try it again?
The modification time of the photo file is just the creationDate field of the corresponding PHAsset object: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photos/phasset.
I don't know why creationDate is different from the last modified time, but can you…
The debounce is per profile. Acrosync will try to bundle all changed files together and pass them as included patterns to one rsync all. So I don't know why it is different for you. Can you post some logs here with the 'Verbose logging' option ch…
This turns out to be a bug in the handling of '/' as the remote directory, which has been fixed in this latest build: https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.6_591.exe.
I don't know if there is an easy solution. The directory is created by rsync as the sync job goes on so it will remain there when the job is interrupted. You can't really delete the incomplete directory otherwise you would lose the ability to resu…
If the profile is not stopped, then it will try again when the next scheduled time is reached.
Only one profile will run at a time. So if there is a long running profile then another profile will start only after the current one finished.
PhotoBackup always requests the highest quality version of a photo when uploading. According to Apple's doc:
Photos provides only the highest-quality image available, regardless of how much time it takes to load.
Therefore it is safe to say that…
Sorry I forgot under the rsync daemon mode this listing behavior is different.
You should check if the rsync server supports module listing by running this command on your Linux VM:
rsync serverip::
If not, the remote browsing would not work, bu…
If you enter / as the remote directory before clicking the remote browsing button, Acrosync will start from the root directory rather than the home directory and you should be able to see something there. I think once you pick the right remote dire…
If a file has the same size and timestamp on both sides, then Acrosync shouldn't upload the file. If it does, then it must be a bug. Can you post some log here to confirm?
A fully sync in Acrosync will index the files on both sides and then update files are are different. There is no way to avoid the indexing part if that is what you want.
Yes, this is by design. A full sync is the only way to keep files on both sides in sync.
In fact, after the initial full sync Acrosync will perform a full sync hourly, just in case the file system monitor may miss any file change.
Sorry there was a copy and paste error on the registry path.
This is a per-profile option so the path is HKCU/Software/Acrosync/AcrosyncClient/Profile_n, where n is the profile id. You can find out the profile id by checking the value under each Pr…
You can disable the notifications by creating a registry value HKCU/Software/Acrosync/AcrosyncClient/Profile_*/SuppressAutoSyncNotification of type DWORD and value 1.
The profile is saved once you start the sync or click the remote browse button.

Right, PhotoBackup needs additional ssh connections for downloading and uploading the .photobackup file, so the MaxSessions should be at least 3. This .photobackup file stores the information about previously indexed photos, and it is always safe t…
The second one contains ", and the fourth one contains \, both of which are deemed as invalid character as Acrosync is a cross-platform sync tool and some platforms (mostly Windows) don't allow them to be used in the path.
Not sure about the rest. …
