Quick start
All the control and the setting of the tasks for copying is done via a single configuration file of type XML.
In this file you will define your choices such as which files should be saved (specify the source and
destination), what type of copy to launch, should we use ciphering features, what is the level of
traceability tasks (logs), etc...
For that you can get inspiration of files "configuration_example.xml" and "configuration_template.xml"
present in the installation directory of Fisy and containing configuration examples. Note that an
XML file is a plain text file readable for an human, so you can create it one or open it one with a
text editor such as Notepad for those under Windows system.
After saving the file, run the command line :
fisy myconfigurationfile.xml
For more information on the possibilities of the configuration file as well as the use of encryption,
refer to the documentation.
Be careful deleting files
Fisy performing tasks of "synchronization" and "deletion / replacement" of files, the application is able to delete full file tree. During your first tests do not write dummy inputs in the configuration file and make sure that you do.
If you are unsure, read the documentation.
