« Last post by tomos on February 18, 2010, 04:06 AM »Version #5 is coming out soon - see below for details - partial file versioning for files over .4MB which can be combined with zipping & encryption
NEW FORUM (yaaaah)

there seems to be some sort of partnership with this new(?) online backup site (well, they will use a version of SFFS & SFFS has forum on their site). They here.

| New Features In Version 5 (Preview now available for Windows) Support for Google Docs You can now synchronize with Google Docs! The functionality is described here. Embedded SQL Database An embedded Firebird SQL Database Server is now being used for the reference databases. This adds only 2 MB to the download and it does not need any configuration. It is used for SmartTracking, for the Destination Cache and for storing the checksums for Partial File Updating. The SQL server communicates directly via its DLL file, so there is no TCP/IP or other interprocess communication that would be seen by Firewalls. Embedded Firebird runs as part of the Superflexible or ExtremeSync processes. Firebird is a great improvement over the old database structure, especially in terms of reliability and scalability. It can store an unlimited number of file entries and other data without becoming much slower. A separate database file is created for each job (like before). Old databases are automatically converted. Differential Versioning Backup You can now combine Partial File Updating with Versioning, Zipping and Encryption and use it with any backup storage location, including FTP and other Internet Protocols. Checkboxes to choose: - tab sheet Special: "Partial File Updating" (without Remote Service) - tab sheet Zipping: "Zip Each File Individually" The option "Filename Encoding" on the Versioning tab sheet is automatically active in this use case. The Zip file sizes can now be limited too so that large files can be split (only in conjunction with Partial File Updating). The transfer can be stopped any time and zip parts already uploaded won't be lost. Be sure to keep all zip files on the destination as they may all be needed to reassemble the file upon restore. Any older version can be restored by choosing the desired target date in the Restore Wizard, or by right-clicking the file in the Sync Preview and choosing the desired version. The option "Keep multiple files" is implied and does not need to be checked. It cannot be used to limit the number of older versions. All older versions must be kept on the backup. A method to limit the number of older files that need to be kept on the backup storage is currently being developed and suggestions on the best strategy are welcome. Block-level copying is applied to files which are at least 400,000 bytes in size. The granularity of the differential backup is determined dynamically for each file, based on its size. The smallest block size used will be 2048 bytes. Each partial backup includes an MD5 checksum for each file, so that restored files can be verified to be 100% correct. You can see this in the file MD5.TXT that the partial zips contain. |
