Virtual versioning is a SkySync feature that allows the administrator to migrate versioned content to a destination network share drive or file system. With this feature, all versions of a file will be preserved when migrating into a storage platform that does not support versioned content.
The following storage platforms are also supported as destinations for virtual versioning:
Autodesk
OneDrive
OpenStack
OpenText
Syncplicity
WebDav
Virtual versioning is only compatible with Copy type jobs, and can only create the virtual versions on the destination.
When virtual versioning is enabled (see screenshot below), SkySync will create a copy on the destination for each version of a file on the source.
In the example below, the source contained the file Version test.docx, which had 3 total versions.
When this file was copied into the network share drive destination, three separate files were created. Each one corresponds to a version from the source and will be appended with the 'id' of the document version from the source. These values will differ depending on the source as different sources will utilize different numbering systems for their documents.
