Re: Can be used to express the path that possible changes? For example, version number
You can use the FFS Filter rules to In- or Exclude files and/or folders in your sync. The FFS Filter rules do not support Regular Expressions, but do support two basic wildcards, that may be sufficient to cover your example above. FFS filter rule entries are relative to your left and right base loca...

Re: Excluded dir is causing an error (.gvfs)
Having /.gvfs in your Exclude Filter will only exclude a .gvfs-file that is in the root of your left and/or right base-location, not if it is in any of their subdirectories. You need to enter either the correct path in front of /.gvfs , relative to your left-and right base location, or enter */.gvfs...

Re: Only want to syncronize a single file ---- how can I do ?
For synching just a single file FFS may be a bit of overkill. But nevertheless: You can use the FFS Include Filter . Replace the default Include Filter of * (= everything) by the (path+) filename (relative to your left- and right base-location) of the file you want to sync. You can edit the Filter s...

Re: "Both sides have changed" problems with backups
> Why does FreeFileSync show that both files have changed?
Because the file-ID of both the left- and right-side file has changed compared to what it was at the end of the previous sync, as stored in the left-, respectively right-side database file.

Re: Insufficient disk space WEBDAV
It seems to be a long standing (and still unfixed) WebDav problem, making both Windows and Linux reporting the used and available space of the local disk.

There you can choose to run tasks based on a given time, but also upon given events, such as startup, login, logoff and shutdown.

As you noticed, I forgot to add the /w or /wait option to at least the first two start-commands in the batch script of my previous reply.

Do not add /w or /wait to the FFS On Completion command-line, when using that route.
