Nice simple way to ensure the gizmo turns back on if you don't have a UPS sitting around. Sure enough, if the computer is on and I cut the power, then plug it back in, it turns right on. Stay off was the default, however there was an option for Power On. Yeah, I just went into the BIOS on this system and there's a section under Power listed as "Power After Failure" with a few options. But there are options (usually in the BIOS) to wake-on-lan, wake-on-usb or wake-on-pci, meaning that if one of these components becomes active, the PC wakes up. Another thing I'm going to look at next is lightweight bittorrent clients and seeing if there's a way to push deltas via a functionally private bittorrent sharing a TrueCrypt volume.Never heard of that. written that can use ftp, that can, independently of good time synchronization, determine the time offset between hosts and then CRC/MD5/SHA the files to determine deltas. SyncBack will use the environment created by the DOS script, and a user can now create profiles that use the %usbbasepath% environment var that'll have a portable, but fully qualified, :\ parameters.Īfter reading more about the use of rsync, my caution about NSTI conformance seems even more prudent.īut really, there does need to be a simple file sync util. :: the path will not include a trailing "\" but that could beįor /F %%i in ('cd') do set usbbasepath=%%i :: (nice for testing where you don't have the same directory tree
:: parse off the current drive letter & "root path" :: in my case the path looks like this: \apps\util-syncback, so I need :: traverse as high to your thumb drive's "root" dir as necessary
With that realization I found a work-around that should be compatible with at least Win2k, using a DOS command script employing the "FOR" command (I'm not sure about Win98 or ME's 'FOR' implementation). SyncBack is not 100% compatible w/ portable environments however, because its profiles want a complete path ( :\dir\dir\dir\ ) and it won't take a relative root like "\apps\blah." However it will take environment variable substitutions using %VARNAME%.
