Synchronize dirs bug?

[miskox]

Hi all,

I have two disks: primary c: and a backup disk d:

Each disk has a directory: \DATA

Each \DATA has LOTS of dirs/files (62380 files, 5746 folders to be exact).

I use disk C: for work and D: for backup (because these files ARE TOO IMPORTANT TOO LOSE THEM).

The problem is: I had three empty folders on the backup disk: 62380 files, 5749 folders). It would be nice for the SYNCHRONIZE DIRS/COMPARE to find these differences. This function says that there are no different files (well it's true if we don't treat FOLDERs as files. But FOLDER is a (directory) file).

Is there a way to make SYNCHRONIZE DIRS do correctly? I solved this problem quickly with the DOS command DIR.



Thank you.

Not at this time, sorry. TC's Sync Dirs only works with files, not folders.

However, it has a function to delete empty dirs when doing asynchronous synchronisation (but be careful, you must understand what asynchronous means).

Hi, it has been few days. I check this asynchronous synchronization - it does not work as mentioned - it does not find the empty directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

It does - you have to select "Right: Delete all empty directories" after clicking Synchronize.

but it would be usefull to see that empty dirs and know the existance of them, is there any workaround in TC? (of course WHS...)
