Super delay on redating synchronized volume
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 9:14 am
Hello Barry,
After a sync job, AISbackup resets the time and date of al files on the destination drive. This is a very nifty feature as it allows quick synchronization of drives that are replicated by other means. AISBackup's overhead makes it too slow with drives larger than, say, 100GB and this allows me to copy all or part of the file structure by faster means and let AISBackup touch up to make the drives indistinguishable.
But it looks like AISBackup is ALWAYS touching up the WHOLE destination drive (on a wireless network, in my case) after even if only a single file is synchronized and doing so all but blocks my computer for an hour or so. During that time Excel is very unresponsive and AISBackup too, up to the extent that I have to resort to drastic measures (i.e. kill AISBackup).
For a solution I would suggest not to redate files if they are already of the correct date (checking is not the time-consuming part here), or, if that is not what's happening here, give us a 'Destination is replica' box and with that on the default=NO redate all files and when YES only process the files that are dirty.
