HBS3-ACTIVE SYNC . . ?

[HDX-NAS]

Hi All.
Previous to HBS3 we had an active two way sync between a local folder & a folder on our 2nd NAS system at different site.
Change something in either of them, any time & it would instantly be reflected in the other.

Since updating to HBS3 this sync job has ceased to work. .
So I deleted it & made a new active sync job. .
Problems are:
1 - it seems to be only one way
2 - it's not "active" . . I haven't put anything in the "schedule" my thinking being because it's "active" & therefore running all the time. .

What's going on . Any help much appreciated . .

If you created a an Active Sync Job I'm not surprised that it's one-way. Active Sync could also (maybe better?) have been called a Pull Sync Job as it's a pull (data incoming) one-way sync it does.

The job type named One-way Sync Job is a push (data outgoing) one-way sync.

What you should create ia a Two-way Sync Job:

2 - it's not "active" . . I haven't put anything in the "schedule" my thinking being because it's "active" & therefore running all the time. .

Both Active (Pull) Sync and Two-way Sync Jobs need to be either scheduled (you can make it repeat with an interval of your choice) or manually started. Neither job type is constantly running.

Hi P3R.

Thank you for your clear & succinct reply. .
All is clear now. . . I will set up a 2 way sync job. . .
May I ask though, previous to HBS3, we did have a job syncing/mirroring these 2 folders that I thought was continuously doing so . .
Is that now no longer possible ?

So can a one way job be continuous ?

I have never used 2-way sync so I don't know what was possible in previous HBS-versions.

Ok.
Thanks.
