I have not been able to create a support ticket yet.

but the program seems like it is incomplete in the archiving area.

I really don't want to have to create my own tool / program here for monitoring and handling Resilio archives.
#Resilio sync pieces archive#
For further examination, I would for future love to know the easiest way to do a restore when the archive has a bunch of renamed copies of files. The only links I could find mentioned on the forums and posts are 404's. I suppose, information wise, if there is a KB article or something I missed - this could help me a lot. If I restore these files now, is this program just going to keep deleting them again until this sync finishes? And that will be a real problem.Īm I wrong to be trusting Resilio or should I be staying with mainstream cloud sync providers at this time? Is the only solution to create my own third party program to monitor the archive folder for files that Resilio is deleting? Finally, all 6 or so computers are STILL syncing. Just to clarify on this point, fortunately Resilio is not my last point of backup, but if it deletes a mass load of files and I don't realize it for 30 days, it could begin to impact my other points of backup. I absolutely do not want to find myself missing this many files again - it is actually worse than a crashing application, it is actually intentionally destroying data - and I can't find anything to tell me why. I'm much more nervous and concerned about my data with Resilio and I'm on the fence of asking for a refund - I'm starting to get buyers remorse really quickly. I honestly want to know, is this an actual commercial product, or a funky proof of concept, and not ready for consumption? I ask this, not to be rude, but out of knowing little about this, as I purchased the program on the recommendation of others.

Question #2 - Should I, or Can I, trust Resilio? How do I stop it from permanently deleting files >1GB? During this process, it does appear to have permanently deleted several large files. So do I now need to look in that folder on all of my computers, manually copy those files out, back into the Resilio Sync folder?ĭo I then delete the Archive copies? Or is it smart enough to do this on its own? I suspect, it is not. Is there an article on proper restore methods using Resilio? I did find some of the missing files in.
#Resilio sync pieces how to#
Question #1 - I can't for the life of me find a good article on how to properly restore files. In total, I am missing around ~350GB (millions of files) - however, the folders and subfolders are intact. I took a look today, and discovered that it wasn't just some files, but had become approximately 75% of all of my files were deleted by Resilio Sync. However, my current pressing issue is that about a week in now and I started noticing about 2 days ago that I had files missing. I did at first try to use SymLinks to make it easier to split the data, which obviously just didn't do anything.Īnyway, I won't harp on the terrible memory use yet - but I find it is partially synced and already using ~2 to 4GB of RAM - I will roll with that for now (all my machines have 32GB minimum) and it is not my chief concern but I do feel like a DBA should be consulted, you do not need to have the entire folder DB loaded in RAM all the time. So, I did the initial setup, copied all the folders to where I needed, got all the sync's running and folders connected.

On the advice of others, I bought Resilio without being able to do much testing (with over 500GB of data, and 2.5 million files, the 5GB limited version does not tell me anything of value). I came to Resilio from Dropbox as they informed me will not provide support to clients with over 300,000 files, resulting in the application crashing on 3 of our computers for the last few years.
