Default Is PathSync 0.35 Reliable On Win7 64bit In 2013?!

Hello,

This util looks exactly like what I have always been looking for

I installed 0.35 on Win7 64bit and it immediately gave some kind of error saying it may not have installed properly. I just clicked OK and told it that it had installed OK.

All seemed to be going well with my backup in default mode. I was copying from the main hard drive to an external hard drive. When i unplugged my USB pen I got the error

"PathSync - Synchronization : pathsync.exe - Delayed Write Failure... windows was unable to save all the data for the file... the data has been lost..."

And then stopped at 94%. I also got a lot of "Error opening source" and "tmpdest" on many files. The tmpdest files have a weird PSYN_TMP extension?

Is a delayed write failure expected if I unplug a usb pen that should have nothing to do with the backup operation?

Basically, I love this app, but *is it to be trusted* on my modern system? THANKS.

I use it regularly on W7x64 and it works great. I'd say you were copying from/to the pen drive when you removed it. Are you 100% sure you did not?
In any case I think the delayed write message came from W7, not PathSync. Maybe something in your setup couldn't handle unplugging the pen drive while Windows was writing to another USB port...

Before removing the device, did you click the icon to "safely remove hardware and eject media"?

No, that was a mistake, but i didn't think it would have any effect.

I was 100% not using the pen drive for any of the data copying, and the message did come from win7.

Any idea why it says it is not installed properly, did anyone use compatibility mode for their install?

cheers

The "This program might not have installed correctly" message comes from the Program Compatibility Assistant (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756937.aspx), and from what I've seen (http://www.w7forums.com/program-migh...ly-t12332.html among other places) it is really nothing to worry about if the installer itself finished with no error. PathSync seems to work for you, as it does for me, so it was most probably installed correctly.

The delayed write error when un-plugging your pen drive is not connected to the "might not install correctly" issue, I think.
