high processor load and bandwith usage

[adejager]

I run a number of profiles at logon and afterwards every 30min in the background. This results in a high processor load, extensive disk swapping and high bandwidth usage.

* It would be nice if syncback would automatically run them one after another.

* The 30 min background option could be randomized

* An option (just like kaspersky antivirus) to limit processor usage and bandwidth to a percentage of total.

Regarding your findonclick disk examination technique:

An optional client program to put on the target machine.

This could make a disk map on the target machine to compare to the disk map of the source machine. This client examination would run on the target machine to save processor capacity and speed up the compare time, which takes up the greatest part of the sync process.

This way you could also rapidly differentiate between unchanged and ?maybe? changed files, which in turn could be examined more thorough.

Hi, put them in a group. The profiles in the group will run one after the other.

You can lower the priority of the profile. Bandwidth can be limited on the Copy/Delete or FTP tab (if you're using FTP).

Regarding your findonclick disk examination technique:

Interesting idea, and something we've been thinking about. The limitation is it wouldn't work for FTP or non-Windows shares.
