Profile Settings - Files/More
Copy only X files per profile execution
When this option is selected, the profile will stop after copying the specified number of files. The remaining files, or another X files, will be copied during the next profile run.
Speed Limit
If you want to limit the bandwidth that the copying process will use, you can specify it here. Note that while the copying is running, you will still be able to turn this limitation on or off.
Ignore Global and Group Speed Limits
This causes these speed limits to be ignored. The global speed limit can be specified on the Program Settings dialog. Group Speed Limits can be specified by right-clicking a profile on the Profile Overview screen.
Never Replace Any Files
A rarely used option. This setting causes missing files to be copied over, but existing files won't be updated even if newer versions exist on the other side of the synchronization.
Don't Add Any Files
Use this setting if you want to update existing files only and not copy any new files from one side to the other. This is also rarely used.
Always Append Smaller Destination Files (Resume Transfer)
This setting causes destination files to be resumed when the source file is larger. The program does not verify if the file is still the same, so this option is not usually employed in order to resume transfers. For general resuming, use the Auto-Resume feature from the Files tab sheet. A good example of where the Auto-Resume feature cannot be used so that you must use the setting "Always Append..." would be log files which get bigger each day, and you only want to copy the new information each time. In some cases, you may need to combine this option with the following one so that the program uses the suitable copying direction.
Always Consider Larger Files Newer (Ignore Timstamp)
This settings causes the timestamp to be ignored, and files to be compared only by their size. This is not normally recommended but may sometimes be necessary.
Check Destination File (Again) During Copying Phase
Normally, the program checks the existence of the destination file just prior to copying each file, in order to see if it is going to be overwritten. However, some NAS devices respond slowly to these checks if the folder contains many files. Therefore, you can disable this setting in order to speed up the process.
And Compare File Details (Again)
This checkmark also causes the Last Modification timestamp of the files to be compared again just prior to copying. If the situation has changed and the file no longer needs to be copied, it is skipped.
Copied files receive current system time
This option is rarely used. Normally, files copied to the destination are given the same timestamp that they had on the source side.
