Join Sync OK but no files are ever synced

Thread needs solution

The title of this thread sums it up. Sync just doesnt work.

I wasted about 4 hours yesterday and another hour today and tried everything including complete reinstalls and nothing works. I have 3 machines all running TI2012, 2 are Windows 7 and one is XP. I can configure syncs and they seem to work on the local machine but nothing I do will make them work across my network. I can login from all three machines and see the configured sync folder. I can join them and I get the green check mark but nothing ever syncs.

I have read lots other posts and there seems to be numerous issues with the sync functions but no obvious solutions. This is one of the main reasons for getting TI2012 and it just doesnt seem to work.

If anybody else has had the same problem and figured it out please let me know.

Have you checked that your other PC's can see each other and that your firewall (s) aren't blocking incoming or outgoing traffic on the sync port?

Do your PC's that are synced show up in your account under sync?

Internet connection is OK
All PCs login and can see the same Acronis account.
Local networking is fine as all 3 PCs use file sharing OK

I tried turning off firewalls but no change but thats harder to do in the router. I did check the logs and didnt see any blocked traffic but do you know what the sync port number is so that way I can try and explicitly set it as allowed traffic.

Off hand I don't recall the port number, I'll have to check when I get home.

Do your PC's show up under the sync entry in your Acronis account?

I spent more time yesterday trying to get this to work and still no luck. I have uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled a number of times but still nothing. Does anybody out there have this working, surely this cant just be me.

Can you post a screen shot of your Syncronization screens from Acronis True Image 2012 from one or more of your computers. I use this feature on several computers on my LAN and although it was not the easiest to get started, I now use it on a regular basis. I think I could help if I could see some of the screen shots from your systems.

 Attached are 2 screen shots that show the 2 systems you will see that both know of each other and one (the original) shows it was updated at 7:14 while the other says nothing and no matter what I do it wont update.

Everything works OK when I do a local file sync. Therefore what I am now doing is sharing filessystems between my machines and syncing that way. It seems to work although not sure if it is as efficient.
