It will recognize and "see" only what is in Windows 7. It will not recognize the external hard drives. #File synchronization mac proSorry to say but ViceVersa Pro will not work with Fusion 5 Windows 7 Mac Lion. #File synchronization mac mac osxPosted: Mon 2:14 pm Post subject: VMware ViceVersa Pro Mac OSx VVPro does indeed work fine on Parallels. It was a LaCie Ethernet Disk mini, whose realtime clock firmware had become corrupted, that ruined some of my files' date stamps. UPDATE: the issues was NOT caused by VVPro nor by Snow Leopard. In any case: VVpro 2.4 + WinXP + Parallels + OSX Leopard (but possibly not Snow Leopard) works VERY WELL for me. I'm still exploring the forums for clues. I've just discovered my one Snow Leopard machine may be having issues in that the creation dates on that machine's files seem to be in a different format that also throws errors in VVPro (dates prior to 1970 or something to that effect). If you are backing up to an NTFS drive, for example, this is a good thing! These files will not synch and will throw an error. The one problem that you will encounter is that OSX allows characters in filenames that Windows does not (i.e.: colon, forward slash, backslash, number, double-quote, etc.). There is a performance hit due to Parallels' overhead, but I couldn't tell you how much (in any case this was not a deal-breaker for me). Both my Windows-side and Mac-side files are synched properly every time. The setup works - and works much, much better at properly detecting file change triggers than Chronosync, which is Mac-specific. Just a note to Mac users on this topic: I have been successfully using VVPro 2.5 in Windows XP in Parallels on several Macs. Just to clarify, are you running Mac OSx inside the VMWare Virtual Machine on Win 7 ? thanks More problem solving to come but it isn't as easy as it should have been. I verified all permissions and recognized it has something to do with the mappings. I setup VVPro on the VM and used the VMWare settings to share all the appropriate folders (source and destinations) - VVPro scanned the files perfectly but any copies failed. I'm running the latest version of VMWare with Win7. Posted: Sun 12:24 am Post subject: VMWare with Win7 on Mac OSx to no avail with VVPro Synchronization tools for Windows seem to be a dime a dozen (although lots of them aren't that good) but quality sync tools for Linux and OS X with good GUIs seem to be rare.Ī lot more painful that VV, but it's the closest thing. Maybe another another option is not "rewriting the program from scratch" but just writing a VVPro look-alike front-end for rsync. #File synchronization mac how toI think it would be worth TGRMN's time exploring how a user might utilize VM functionality in this way and, if it works, providing some type of documentation on how to do it. So maybe one could set up a Windows VVPro VM that would work this way. With regard to virtual machines here's a VMware solution for creating disk image backups over a network, although they also mention that one could set up a similar type of machine using rsync. If you are using OSX or Linux you probably already have rsync as part of the base OS. My understanding is that rsync is powerful but most of the functionality is only available through the command line, although an Internet search reveals a number of basic GUI front-ends for different OSes. One solution to the problem posed by the original poster might be rsync which will work on all three platforms. a very long time! wonder if indeed it would be possible to run VV in a simulated OS with WMWare, that would be a nice workaround! Sorry guys, ViceVersa is written in C++ and porting the code to another OS would take as much work as rewriting the program from scratch. ![]() I wonder how well VVPro would work in a virtual machine? Say you installed W2K or WXP as a virtiual machine using Parallels or VMware (forthcoming for OS X) and stripped the OS down to the bare necessities plus VVPro, how well would it work? With VMware you'd be able to carry around the virtual machine on a USB drive and run it on OSX, Windows, or Linux using VMware's free VM Player. I don't get the impression that TGRMN are enthusiastic about doing versions for either OS X or Linux although I may be wrong. #File synchronization mac mac os xI'm looking at buying a new mac and love the software, I would like to see a mac OS X version as well! ![]() Posted: Sat 3:46 am Post subject: Mac OS X If you could create an os x client that would make it a perfect world. Linux is only used as my server, but I have windows and os x clients. I do a lot with both windows, linux and mac os x.
