Profile Settings - Special/More

Use Cache Database For Source
This setting is only used by the Restore Wizard. It enables you to use the database cache for the source side rather than the destination. This is not usually reasonable for profiles that run regularly. The typical application is a restore operation.

If the Destination Machine Modifies Received Files, Changing Their Sizes Upon Reception, Then Copy Such Updates Files Back
In some cases, when uploading documents to a server such as a Sharepoint Server, the server may add some additional information to the file. The file size then no longer matches. To fix the mismatch, this checkbox will cause Syncovery to copy the updated file back from the server shortly after having uploaded it.

Set Target Volume Label
This function modifies the volume label of the destination drive (when copying only in one direction).

Double-Check Each File's Destination Timestamp After Copying
This option may help ensuring that modification timestamps are set correctly when files are copied to local hard drives, mounted images, or network drives.

Detect Changed Files Via File System Monitoring Even if Timestamps Unchanged
Some files, such as VM images or TrueCrypt containers, may keep their timestamps unchanged for some time even though the contents changes. Syncovery can now detect changes using the File System Monitoring Service. This is usually combined with the Block Level Copying and File System Monitoring checkmarks from the same tab sheet. This option should never be used for normal documents or image files or other normal files.

Spawn Separate Sub-Jobs For Each Subfolder
This feature will make Syncovery treat subfolders as separate jobs, by simultaneously spawning separate sub-jobs that handle each subtree. You can specify the subfolder level on which the separation into sub-jobs should take place. This feature may help speeding up the synchronization of large folder hierarchies with many folders and files. However, it should rarely be used, since the progress display and the log files can become confusing.

Alternate Data Streams
Alternate Data Streams are normally copied along with the file without any special setting. If you need special handling of Alternate Data Streams, you will find some options via this button. Note that Alternate Data Streams are not copied when zipping or encrypting files, or when copying via Internet Protocol.
