Title: Question about disk sync software
Post by: dustblue on July 26, 2008, 10:47:20 am

Hi there,

Thanks for you guys help, I'v bought a thecus N3200 with 3 1T disk. I make them a raid 5. My router is a 10m/100m router, so the speed is very slow, both read and write is about 25G/hour, which is 7mB/s. I will go get a giga router, and it will be boost to at least 100G/hour, which is 30m/s, 1/3rd of the speed of internal raid0.

And now I got the question about disk sync. I've tried the SecondCopy7, its features are exactly what I want, but I got problems: every time it runs, it tries to  copy lots of (even 4 thousands!) already the same files from source directory to backup directory, every time, it's really weird. I've tried the DST option, does't work.

Have anyone of you got this kind of problem? or do you use any better software solution?

I welcome any kind of feedbacks, thanks in advance.

regards,
Dustblue

oh, I forgot to say that seagate 1T hard drive in the thecus is really noisy, don't put it near your working desk...

Solved.
Allway Sync is finally my choice.
