•Silently fail if source/left cannot be reached through the network, drive does not exist, or there is no disk: When enabled, and the source/left drive cannot be accessed, then the profile will silently fail when run. No log file will be produced, and no failure result will be recorded. This option is useful when you have a profile scheduled to run periodically but are not always connected to the source/left. Enabling this option has an important change on the order of execution (see below).
•Silently fail if destination/right cannot be reached through the network, drive does not exist, or there is no disk: When enabled, and the destination/right drive cannot be accessed, then the profile will silently fail when run. No log file will be produced, and no failure result will be recorded. This option is useful when you have a profile scheduled to run periodically but are not always connected to the destination/right, e.g. you backup to a network drive via a wireless network connection. If the destination is an email server, FTP server, or a cloud service, then SyncBack will attempt to connect to the server (at the relevant address and port) to see if it can be accessed. In previous versions a ping was used instead, but often pings are blocked by routers and firewalls. Enabling this option has an important change on the order of execution (see below).

If the silently fail option is enabled then it changes when SyncBack connects to the network. With it enabled it will attempt to connect to the network almost immediately. If it is not enabled (the default) then SyncBack connects to the network at a later stage (after any media is loaded, after any profile pause, after any Run Before and after any shadow volume(s) are created. |
•If possible resume a broken file transfer when a profile is re-started (may slow profile): This option is only available when using FTP or normal file systems. When enabled, if a profile stops because the network connection is lost, for example, and a file transfer is in progress, then when the profile is next run it will attempt to resume the upload/download. If FTP is being used then the FTP server must support the resume feature. Note that when copying files across Windows networks then enabling this option can slow down file copying, therefore it is only recommended enabling this option if very large files are being copied across a network and there is a chance the connection will be broken. If a profile is aborted then no attempt will be made to resume a file transfer.
•Silently fail if no network connection is detected by Windows: You may want your profile to only run if there is a network connection, e.g. you are using a laptop computer. If this option is enabled then when the profile is run a check is made to see if there is a network connection. If not the profile will silently fail to run. Windows performs the check for network connectivity and it decides if there is a network connection, which can be a local network (LAN) or Internet connection (WAN). If you want the profile to only run if there is an Internet connection, then see the next option.
•Silently fail if no Internet connection is detected by Windows: You may want your profile to only run if there is an Internet connection. If this option is enabled then when the profile is run a check is made to see if there is an Internet connection. If not the profile will silently fail to run. Windows performs the check for Internet connectivity and it decides if there is a connection.
•Silently fail if Windows IS NOT connected to the following network: You may want your profile to only run if there is a specific network connection. For example, you only want the profile to run if you are in your office. If this option is enabled then when the profile is run a check is made to see if there is a connection to the specified network. If not the profile will silently fail to run. Windows performs the check for network connectivity and it decides if there is a connection.
•Silently fail if Windows IS connected to the following network: You may want your profile to not run if it is connected to a specific network connection. For example, you do not want the profile to run if you are at home. If this option is enabled then when the profile is run a check is made to see if there is a connection to the specified network. If so the profile will silently fail to run. Windows performs the check for network connectivity and it decides if there is a connection.
•Limit bandwidth usage to...: If a value above zero is entered then when copying files the bandwidth usage is limited to what is specified (kilobytes per second). Note that there are some cases where the bandwidth usage cannot be limited, e.g. when using compression. Note that this bandwidth is used even when copying files to internal or external drives, as well as to other computers or NAS devices. There is a separate setting to limit the FTP bandwidth usage on the FTP, Advanced page and also one for the Cloud.
