Profile Settings - Database

These settings enable the program to share the same database between several profiles. Normally, you don't need to edit any of the fields on this tab sheet. When saving a profile under a new name, you will be asked if you would like to continue using the same database.

Sharing the same database may be useful or necessary only in special cases, for example if you have more than one profile that work on the same folders but with different file masks or subfolder selections.

In most cases, you will want to avoid two jobs from using the same database. You will find a checkmark on the Database tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog to "never allow two profiles to share the same database". If two profiles do share the same database, only one of them can run at the same time.

Open Database Read-Only
This setting is used by the Restore Wizard when using the database as a file list cache for the source side to ensure that the restore operation can't modify the database.

Fast Mode: Don't Check All DB Entries
When using SmartTracking or Cache Destination File List or Exact Mirror with Delayed Deletions, the program depends on the database containing a complete, up-to-date list of all files with their details and properties. For this reason, the whole database is checked against the actual file list when a job is run in attended mode. To save time, you can choose this Fast Mode checkmark.
