Error signaling that occurs again even if no activity is in progress

Post by VascoVicenza »

Hello, I would like to know which situation can produce the following error line in the LOG:

2021-10-31 08:23:47 Benvenuto in Cobian Reflector!
ERR 2021-10-31 08:28:00 Avvertimento: la dimensione della directory del mirror sicuro ora è 1,31 GB.

2021-10-31 09:17:00 Verifica aggiornamenti...
2021-10-31 09:17:02 Il tuo programma è aggiornato.

VI would also like to know if it is due to activity settings or is it a problem with the Reflector software.
Thanks bye

I suppose you are doing what follows :
  • making mirror copies
    • "Create new separated backups" option unchecked (Task Settings, General)
    • "Mirror Task" option checked (Task Settings, Advanced)
  • "Use a safe mirror directory" option checked (Tools, Settings, Advanced)
If this is the case, when a file has been deleted in the source, it will be deleted in the destination but not before a copy is taken and put in the "Safe mirror directory" defined under Tools, Settings, Advanced.

This directory is growing and when it reaches the size defined under "Watch safe mirror size" (Tools, Settings, Functionality), it gives an "Avvertimento".

Solution :
  • Do not make mirror copies :)
  • Do not safe copy deleted files :shock:
  • Increase the size of the safe copy directory 8-)
  • Do not watch safe mirror size :oops:
Ciao,
Gabriel

More over the safe mirror directory and its size can be found here. Search for "mirror".
