Overview


Transfer differences only


Instead of transferring entire file systems, VRangeSync only sends the differences between destination and source files. It save alot of administration time.


Intelligent 'Move' feature


Ability to 'move' files within 'Destination machine'. (No need to transfer the same file again) (eg. if you move a file(vmk.vmk) from 'directory A' to 'directory B' on your machine; it will be 'smart' to move the file(vmk.vmk) within destination machine. It will not 'delete from directory A and start new file transfer to directory B' on remote machine). It save alot of administration time when transferring very large files.


Resume Partial Transfer file


No need to copy whole file again; start transfer from the last partial completed file.


'Delta Transfer Diff Algorithm'


Transfer new changes without copy the whole file (eg. transfer only 3GB of new data out of the 2TB file). It works for remote & local filesystem.

WARNING: VRangeSync comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
It is recommend to run a 'dryrun' to get an overview of new changes first and then sync.

For example:
./vr -i "/path/to/src" -o "/backup/to/dir" --mode "list"
./vr -i "/path/to/src" -o "/backup/to/dir" --mode "sync"

Once you get use to how Vrangesync works, you are safe to use the --mode "complete" or without --mode option (it will default to 'complete') to automate the process.
