I am having a problem getting ChronoSync v.4.0.1 to backup properly. I have configured the default backup operation ("Backup left to right") and I am trying to backup the content of a folder in my User>Documents folder to an external hard drive.
I have synchronize deletions checked and I have chosen the option to 'delete immediately'. For some reason there have been numerous occurrences in recent days (since using v.4.0.x really) in which the files and folders I delete on the 'source' target are not being deleted on the destination target as well...the folders which are supposed to be deleted simply remain on the destination instead of being trashed as they should be...
The same thing happens to me when I try to backup the package contents of my iPhoto Library to a clone of the library I keep on an external disk (I do have 'disect packages' checked). I noticed the problem upon discovering that my backup iPhoto library was about 100GB larger than the size of my primary (source) library...turns out that things were simply just not being deleted, even though I had the option to delete instead of archive checked in the sync job's settings...??
I've used ChronoSync for years and I am pretty familiar with this program, and I am also quite familiar with OS X ... and there are no obvious permissions issues I can figure out. I've run a battery of system maintenance routines using an application called 'Cocktail' to clear caches; and rotate logs; repair permissions; run cron scripts; reboot/log-out, etc, etc... No luck!
Any suggestions?
