Hi there,
I have a user that has a Mac Book running OS X 4.9 if I am correct. I don't really work on Macs so I hope I am giving you all the details.
This is what happened. We upgraded their Server (Which was running Windows 2000) to Windows 2003 server. When we returned the server we use a program called ChronoSync to Sync files from the Mac to the Server so that it can be backed up at night.
When I install ChronoSync I do the Following:
- I create a folder on the desktop called "Work"
- Then I'll move all the data to this folder. (In her case everything was on the desktop so I just moved it.)
- Then I set up ChronoSync to Sync data from .....\Desktop\Work to ...\%serverName%\%username
% with Sync Deletions and to Archive files that is no longer on the users machine when it sync. The Archive folder will be created as ...\%ServerName%\%username
%\_Archive
After this I'll save the file put it on the start-up. Then I'll create 2 Schedule entries.
1. Sync after the program starts
2. Sync when the program closes.
Then I'll manually sync it the first time to see if there's any errors. After the sync I'll restart the Mac and make sure it works.
Now the user is complaining that 5 years of data is missing and it's about 10 GIG in size. Is there any reason for this and would it be deleted? There is nothing in the Trash.
If so is there any way to restore deleted files from a Mac?
Thanks in Advance.
