Hello,

Is is possible for FFS not to create sync.FFS_lock on the source folder if "Mirror" is needed? After all, it is a read-only for the source folder.

As I am using a Sharepoint, creating a file on the network will trigger the folder owner an alert. I would like to avoid that. Thanks!

For your first problem, you may like to consider setting two set of sync with both the same source and target folders. You can limit the first set to file size less than a certain size and limit the version to, say 50. You can then limit the second set to file size greater than a certain size and ...

I believe you can still do versioning by folder by using macros. Try to append the below to your current delete folder

%date% %time%\

If we can get a script to remove the data/time information that is inserted by ver 5.8, we are back to per-5.8 ways of handling versioning

Looks like I am late to the party... I have created a script that purge the
deleted folder based on X copies, and maintain a minimum time gap between
copies. The is defined by the below command:

TimeGaps=Array(1,2,3,4,8,16,32,90)

‘ Array that define the time gaps for the backup copies ...

As above, with encryption. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully, the below loos better.

In order to manage the deleted file, I wrote the below script that would
