Syncovery: Delete older files than xx days

Postby evvivame on Sat Jul 20, 2013 6:22 pm

Hi,

Premise:

I have a folder ( as "from folder" ) with my data.
At 00.00 hour of every day, all files of this folder will be erased from my appl.

1. I need synconizer the "from folder" with a "to folder" : ok ! no problems with Syncovery :)

now:

2. I can, with Syncovery, delete files in the "to folder" older than 7 days ??

I hope clear : if not pls tell me!
Regards
Luciano

Yes, there are various ways to do it.

Perhaps the safest way, in this special case, is to use Exact Mirror mode and click on the Configure tab sheet and specify a Delayed Deletion of 6 or 7 days. That means that the files will be deleted 6 or 7 days after they have been removed from the source folder.

superflexible,

thanks for your answer, i see it immediately but i need 1 day to test was you suggest.

Now is 26th 00.10 am

Yesterday at 11.50 the "from folder" was empty and the "to folder" contained subfolder as 2013-07-20 , 2013-07-21,2013-07-22 and 2013-07-25
The settings of Sincovery are attached here http://i41.tinypic.com/sy032s.jpg

At 00.15 with these setting, the older subfolder ( and their files) are again present in the "to folder"

Where is my error ? :oops:
Thanks !

If you specify a 6 day delay it will start deleting in 6 days from today.

[problem closed] i hope.... :D

In the Profile Setting, line "Copying direction" must be press "Choose files &folder" and select all folders :D to manage

With this change the older folder/sub/folder/files in the "to destination" are deleted !!!

Thanks very much for the support !

The next days i monitor the folders but i think +

p.s. the days 7 was only as example.Today to speed the il test i set as 1 day
