BitTorrent Considerations
•
For the most recent information and details on BitTorrent Sync configuration and use,
refer to the documentation available on their web site.
•
BitTorrent Sync cannot be used to replicate snapshots because it requires the ability to
write to the sync location and snapshots are read only.
•
BitTorrent Sync installs as a hidden directory on a volume. If the volume is deleted or
rolled back from a snapshot, the SnapScale attempts to automatically relocate the
BitTorrent Sync hidden directory to another volume. If there are no more volumes, or if
none can be found that are large enough, BitTorrent Sync is disabled and cannot be re-
enabled until a suitable volume becomes available. Once re-enabled, BitTorrent Sync
must be completely reconfigured again.
•
There are BitTorrent Sync mobile apps that make synced documents available on iOS,
Android, Windows Phone 8, and Kindle Fire systems. Refer to their web site for details
on configuration and use of BitTorrent Sync on mobile apps.
