Hi, I am a new user, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am maintaining several large datasets (some at remote locations), and using the Snapshot feature to capture data set details, for comparison at a latter time. The intent is to use the Sneaker net update as described at http://www.scootersoftware.com/suppo...=kb_sneakernet. Generally it is working well, but I have run into an issue.
When comparing a data set from a UNC network path on a unix machine with the equivalent location on a Windows local drive, the same names aren't being matched, despite clearing the "Compare filename case" checkbox in Rules, Comparison. Additionally, some but not all of these unmatched files have "(r)" displayed after the name.
In the screenshot above, the first 2 files do not have (r) after the filenames but the remainder do, even though they are all unmatched and the same filenames just different case. If I compare the original source locations the files all match.
What does the (r) mean, and how can I get the different case filenames to match when comparing snapshots? Using the Align option doesn't work either. And although unix filenames are case sensitive, I doubt that is the issue as the snapshot is created on a windows machine, and the physical location compare works, just not in the snapshots.
Edit: I also tried comparing the snapshots to their original location and they match the filenames, same as comparing the original locations, so it is just something with comparing snapshots.
Cheers
