Close script not working - very delayed close

[kinobijei]

Hello, I've the same problem.
I've scheduled the sync with windows Task scheduler.
The action is the following.

"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BCompare.exe" /closescript @NAS09_TO_NAS02.txt

This, the content of the script.
-------------------------------------------------
log verbose append:"C:\Users\adminss\Desktop\LOGS\NAS09_TO_NAS 02\NAS09_to_NAS02_Log_%date%.txt"

criteria binary

load "\\nas09\storico" "D:"

sync create-empty mirror:left->right
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This, the log generated after the first run.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The script completed the sync in about 16 minutes, but as you can see it endeed 13 hours later!!

Can you explain me why?
Could it be maybe the binary criteria?

The sync compares about 960 gb of files in a LAN environment.

Hello,

Yes, you've got it. The script mirrors the graphical interface capabilities, so once the sync completes, the background 'criteria' determines the compare type and then compares the aligned files using that criteria. Since it's a remote location and a binary comparison, this requires downloading temporary files for the compare. Script commands are a series of sequential commands, and don't support 'looking ahead' to determine if it should end early; they mirror the functionality of the graphical interface wherever they can.

To avoid this extra binary comparison, I would suggest performing a combination of commands similar to the graphical interface. Remove criteria (timestamp/size by default), then select and compare instead:
log verbose append:"C:\Users\adminss\Desktop\LOGS\NAS09_TO_NAS 02\NAS09_to_NAS02_Log_2017-04-29.txt"
load "\\nas09\storico" "D:"
expand all
select all
compare binary
sync create-empty mirror:left->right

Hello Aaron,
I've followed your suggestion.

However the time to sync using the binary comparison takes too long considering the amount of files to be compared (more than 6 hours, then I stopped the job).
We are talking about more or less 680.000 files.
I think the only solution, considering this scenario, is to use the timestamps size criteria.

[Aaron]

Oh, yes, if timestamp/size is sufficiently accurate for you, it'll be a much faster scan. Binary is used when timestamp/size along is not reliable enough (due to shifting timestamps or line differences with sizes).
