Update:  Vault Mirror 2014 is now up on the app store

I’m tired of waiting, so I put out my own version of Vault Mirror for 2014.  Vault Mirror is my baby, and nobody puts baby in a corner.  This hasn’t gone through the proper level of QA, which is why it’s on my blog instead of the app store.  Maybe it will make its way up to the app store, or maybe it won’t.  Whatever the outcome, I have you covered.  Click on the link below to download Vault Mirror 2014.  To use, just unzip and run.

Requirements:
Vault Basic/Workgroup/Professional 2014

Click here to download the application
Click here to download the source code

New features:

  • New command line option: -WF.  Downloads files based on your working folder settings.
  • New command line option: -noFail.  If there is a download error, Vault Mirror moves to the next file instead of immediately aborting.
  • The cancel button actually works.  In the past 6 releases, hitting the cancel button didn’t actually cancel the operation.  Nobody seemed to mind, but I thought I should fix it anyway.

As with all the samples on this site, the legal disclaimer applies.

    Hello Doug,
    an idea was to use your Vault Mirror Utility with A360 to upload specific folder, category or file extension on our Cloud.
    At this time, I’ve tried to launch a commande line with “/?” to get all arguments and see any explanations to use the argument -WF, but it does not get me any tips…
    At this time, I’ve got this and it works like a charm. But I would like to tune up a bit:
    “C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\Autodesk Vault Mirror 2014.bundle\Contents\V2014\VaultMirror.exe”
    -PartialMirror -U Administrator -P “” -S WIN-E4U80S6K99H -V ASDK-VAULT-2015 -F “C:\Users\masureb\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\Cloud\masureb_Vault Mirror CS” -L “C:\Users\masureb
    \AppData\Local\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\Cloud\masureb_Vault Mirror CS\VaultMirror.log”
    -noFail

    The readme file contains most of the documentation, including the command line arguments. But it still doesn’t go into much detail.
    -WF downloads the files to your working folder location. It’s for people who want to use Vault Mirror like workspace sync.
    For most cases, I recommend -F which lest you specify a separate download location. That way the mirror files are separate from files you may be working on.

    Hello Doug,
    I am fresh meat to the Vault Administration world and was looking for a way for our sales n such to view the idw’s in our vault without the need for vault on every pc. Awesome. Simple. Well done, thanks very much for sharing! I am having a problem with the Partialmirror Switch. We use a scheduled task to run vault mirror. It is run with administrative access. The scheduled task looks like this:
    Program: “C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\Autodesk Vault Mirror 2015.bundle\Contents\V2015\VaultMirror.exe”
    Arguments: -PartialMirror -U Administrator -P xxxx -S WS2008R2 -V innotech -L “C:\Innodat\vaultlog.txt” -F “C:\Vault” –nofail
    The user running the task has full permissions to the folder C:\Vault. The log file logs a clean run. If I run a full mirror, change an ipt file, then check the ipt back into the vault it is not mirrored. It does not matter whether I run vaultmirror manually or from the scheduled task. The idw was updated. Any ideas?
    Thanks very much,
    Adam
