Chapter 7 - Synchronization

DataVault for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch can synchronize items, categories and types with DataVault for Windows or DataVault for Mac desktops. DataVault implements 2-way synchronization so that all additions, edits and deletions are taken into account regardless of the device on which they are initiated. If the same piece of information is modified on two devices then DataVault prompts the user to choose which version to keep. This is called conflict resolution.

To synchronize DataVault for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with DataVault desktop, the passwords on each device must be the same. You can verify the password on a device by using the unmask feature before you login. To modify a password select Change Password from the Options menu.

Synchronizing Multiple Devices

A single copy of DataVault desktop can sync with several iPads, iPhone and iPod Touches, see image below. DataVault for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch is sold as a universal application which means that you can purchase a single copy and use it on up to 5 iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches at no additional cost.

Synchronizing Over Wi-Fi

To initiate synchronization, start Ascendo DataVault Desktop, go to the file menu and select Wireless Synchronization.

Now start Ascendo DataVault on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and tap on the tools icon in the navigation bar to display the Options menu. Tap on Synchronize > Wi-Fi Network to display a list of detected devices. Choose the device on which DataVault desktop is running. Verify the IP address and port then tap on Synchronize Now. A progress circle will appear until synchronization is complete.

Cloud Synchronization Using Webdav(Mobile Me)

Cloud synchronization requires DataVault for iOS (v4.3+), DataVault for Mac (v4.3.5+), DataVault for Windows (v4.7.3+).

DataVault employs an industry standard protocol called WebDav that is used by popular services such Apple's Mobile Me. Your information is encrypted and password protected to ensure maximum security.
