Beware, BT sync propagated oldest files

The 3rd party BitTorrent Sync app uses the P2P (peer-to-peer) protocol to synchronize an unlimited number of files (stored on the NAS) between your devices. Your data is not stored on a server in the cloud but is protected using private keys during file transmission.

Beware, BT sync propagated oldest files

Post by BengtS »

Running BT sync on 2 Macs (1.2.82) and 2 Qnap Nas (1.1.82). As reported on this forum before sync suddenly stopped between the Macs and the two Nas. Macs were kept in sync and according to the config screen on the Nas also the two Nas. However, the between macs and Nas no sync took place.

A couple of weeks ago I tested to remove the catalogs in the BTS setup on the two Nas and then set them up again. Yesterday I found that some files on my Macs had been reverted back to older versions, the versions they had on the Nas.

Luckily I have TimeMachine backups on my Mac so I can restore the files I have identified, but I have found no easy way to identify all reverted to older version.
