Hi ! Can you add (in the v2.3), a DateTime stamp option (as a Prefix OR a Suffix to file name) ? ie - left-side file name: events.txt right-side file name: 200908021-123503_events.txt format of stamp (for easy file asc/desc sorting by file DateTime stamp): YYYY-HHMMSS_filename.ext Thanks!!!

Yes, agree - this would be a great boost in flexibilty!. Your option (repeated below), would be the best & make FFS very powerful for the type of BACKUP scenario, which we are discussing in this thread: >> ... I could make the overall configuration, including user-defined deletion directory, >> ...

Hi Zenju, I agree with all you said, above. Instead of having to load 2 different configurations as you suggest, would it be possible (in the next version 2.3?) , to allow FFS to handle this scenario: * UPDATE mode * ... From Left... To Right... [ C:\ TestC \ file.txt ] ---> [ F:\ TestF\ DateTime_fi...

Zenju: your solution is brilliant! Almost there, now... Pls, follow my example, below. OBJECTIVE: ---------------- Before overwriting with the latest updated version of the file in C: drive (left-side), we wish to make a DateTime-stamped backup of any previously backed-up files in the F:\ & H:\ ...

Hi Zenju, Indeed there is an extra Date & Time col column in Win's File Explorer or in Total Commander. But... in some instances that col is set to: - Date Created sometimes to: - Date Modified Can be confusing and even dangerous, if you change and make file backups several times a day. On the o...

Hi Zenju! The latter, ie: ---> appending the prefix to files while synchronizing... that would be great for those of us, needing to keep track of file updates, several times a day. In case of emergency - we would know immediately (by the DateTime stamp prefix), what file version to restore....by the...

I can live with that... :-)

Hi - Great program. I need to Backup new/changed Files in: C:\TESTC (Source) to 3 Folders at the same time - clicking the [Synchronize] button only ONCE: D:\TESTD E:\TESTE F: \TESTF so that the Files in C:\TESTC end up having 3 "backup" locations in drives D, E and F. All this, clicking t...

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood correctly: You have one source folder in C: and three target folders in D:, E: and F:. So I'd suggest you simply use three folder pairs C:\TESTC -> D:\TESTD C:\TESTC -> E:\TESTE C:\TESTC -> F:\TESTF Then start the one way sync to the left. Is this what you have been...
