In terms of backups, I still love Rsync \/ DeltaCopy. Rsync is an awesome protocol, as it does only transmit data changes. So it is extremly useful if you are running on an slow dataconnection and try to backup big data chunks or files you are working on. It does save time as well.<\/p>\n
The problem: DeltaCopy (which was developed by Synametrics) is not supported anymore and has been replaced by their (non free) tool Syncrify. (And no, the free Personal Edition does not count as a useable alternative!). Problem with DeltaCopy would be the really old Version of the used rsync Part. But don't worry, it is really easy to update that one (and that will resolve many problems including the ones experienced with special character filenames etc).<\/p>\n
Martin Edenhauser has got one of the latest versions of rsync for windows as download on his blog:\u00a0http:\/\/it-em.net\/joomla\/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=54cms\/front_content.php<\/a>\u00a0- just go there, grab the 3.0.9 (or other latest version) and unzip it into your C:\\Program Files\\Synametrics\\DeltaCopy folder, overwriting the old files. (And don't forget to do it on the Server Side as well, if you are using the DeltaCopy Server as well !)<\/p>\n Thanks Martin for your great work!<\/p>\n
