Excellent. That works perfectly. Makes it a bit easier to identify what sync process each RTS icon in sys tray is actually doing. One more question: I want to set up a RTS process that automatically copies all the photos from their folder on my iphone to a specific folder on my system whenever the p...

Thanks. I'll test it out when i get home.

I seem to get an error running that. Is there a 64bit version available?

Hello,

Yes, the grouping is a minor issue but thought I might as well mention it
anyway.

I can't seem to find the version you said you had uploaded for testing?

Where do I get it from?. I tried the provided link but it took me to the bug
tracker and could find no version there?

Hello, Here is my proposed new User Interface. I understand that it is a radical change but I do feel that it allows for easier understanding as to what part of the interface applies to what part of the sync process. Also apologies for my layout, it's just rough but should show my idea effectively: ...

Hey, I ahve just tried running the sync. It synced the settinsg from the default location in which they are kept by lightroom to a folder in my documents area - That worked fine - First Folder Pair The second FP was to sync all of my Documents folder to my external HDD and it DId make a new folder c...

Right so running my sync should do exactly as I want then? It's syncing settinsg from their default location to a location in documents and then the next folder pair syncs all my documents onto my external drive. So it basically does one folder pair after another? A suggestion then, If multiple fold...

Any chance of some help with this? It would be highly appreciated.

Also, maybe you could add a disable button to folder pairs so you can toggle a
pair on or off temporarily. - Just a little extra feature that some users may
find helpful at times.

Hello, I ahve a folder in my docs folder called Settings and in Settings I store all the configuration/settings/preferences files from applications installed on my system. This allows me to quickly import those back into brand new fresh insatllations after a reinstall or on a different system to get...

This issue has now been fixed. It needed the asterix to be added.

Thanks

When I click the green button, the program seems to freeze and not do
anything?

What's the multiple folder pair feature?

Hello, I am aiming to set up FFS to work as a backup system for a family member. I set the left hand side to C:\Users\Wendy and the right side to E:\Wendy Backups We only want 4 folders from the Users folder to be backed up or mirrored therefore we set up a filter to INCLUDE the following: \My Pictu...

As we need to get a backup of my mothers computer done in the next few days before she goes off on holiday, Could you please simply explain how I can achieve the following function in the current version of FFS: As the folders in C:\Users\Mandy are junction points, How can I set up a different synci...

ok,. when it's done post back here then I can get it being used asap.

Ok, how far off is the new version?

Right,
As the folders in C:\Users\Mandy are junction points, How can I set up a
different syncing profile for each of the folders like Music, Pictures, Videos
and whatever else and run them all as one quick backup?

I have just come back to this topic. I'm sorry but I am getting a bit confused by this thread and I am in need of getting this sorted so we can get a backup completed. All I want to do make a backup of everything located in the users "User" folder. In my case it is the "Mandy" fo...

Sorry for the long delay in replying, The full path of the Music folder that
is part of the backup is:

C:\Users\Mandy\My Music

They must be important as "Music" is one of the folders having the error

How do you enable that then?

It's strange,

both systems are running the same version of Windows 7 and both were
completely setup by myself and configured in the same way which is why it's
confusing me. My previous backup program managed to copy these directories
perfectly on my own and my mum's systems.

You know much more about this than I do but why does it work on my system but
doesn;t on my mum's system?

But the error says that it is failing to CREATE a new folder on the
destination drive!

and the fact that when I run a similar backup but on my own system, it runs
perfectly!

It's failing on stuff like attempting to copy the Windows "Music" folder and
others for example.

Hey,
Just tried running FFS again on that PC and ignoring the error I last posted
and it keeps the syncing process going but now and again it pops up an error
like the one last posted saying it had an error creating a new directory.

Any idea why it keeps failing making these new directories?

Sorry for the late response to this problem. I now have a screenshot of the
error:

Firstly Happy New Year and secondly it works perfectly now. Just have to add
it as a startup item!
