Uhm, why not search for "error" in the log file? Generally, errors should be exceptions rather than the rule, therefore listing error messages conveniently was not a prime design goal.

What did you add?
Sure, everything is ...

My code section was not correctly formatted in above posting, reposted below:

I have a huge error log file, 99.9% of the messages are not errors but info like "\bla\bla\bla.txt created." The real errors are lost like a needle in the haystack. I tried adding the following batchConfig section to my ffbatch file, which did not help:

Well, if no one knows how to avoid flooding of error logs with info messages, I guess I have to advise my users to try some other backup solution. So sorry to abandon ffs which looked promising to me:(

Any one knows how to handle "non-errors" messages and unexplained-errors in ffs_batch?

And, thousands of errors like:
[2:32:14 PM] Error: Cannot move file "C:\Users\steinh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ERC\TemplateCache\Template_86_9.xslt.ffs_tmp" to "C:\Users\steinh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ERC\TemplateCache\Template_86_9.xslt".

I have in my ffs_batch file ...

My Free File Sync error log is too big, 99% full of Info messages, like:
Info: Creating file "C:\Users\steinh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log"
True errors are hiding in this huge pile of info messages. How can I suppress such Info messages from error log?

I have FFS 6.2 on Windows 7.

I have my personal Links pointing to my own Folders. Why do I need to run ffs with Adminstrative rights to preserve my Links?

How can I change the location of the RecycleBin.ffs?

I sync my laptop with portable drive. If I intentionally delete a file from
laptop, I would like it to be deleted from portable drive too. If I
accidentally deleted it, I would like ffs to save me by restoring it from the
backup. How does ffs decide what my intention was?
