Clear History on Sync Profile(s)

Post by SJMarty »

I rebuilt my computer previously running Windows 7 to Windows 10. I am in the process of restoring the profiles for SBP and while they restore fine, I found this recommendation in one of the KBs...
For SyncBackPro & SyncBackSE, you should Force Rescan on any Fast Backup profiles, and Clear History on any sync profiles unless you are absolutely sure the contents of the new Source and Destination are already exactly the same on the new PC as they were on the old PC.
I think I have been looking at the screen too long. I'm hopeful that someone can tell me the steps to clear history of my now imported sync profiles.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can clear the history of a sync profile under:

Modify Profile > Expert > Decision-Files > click on 'Clear History' button (which is the last option on that settings page)

However, as stated in that KB article you need to clear the history only when the Source and Destination paths on Windows 10 are not exactly same as Windows 7 PC.

Thank you.

I do not see a 'Clear History' button on that page.

Hi,

Can you please export (select the profile from SyncBackPro main-window > right click > select Export Profile from the pop-up menu) and send your profile configuration to [email protected] to verify your settings?

Thank you.
