FreeFileSync Forum

It happened again yesterday copying htm files to my Lexar USB flash drive. I was able to have the file removed by running another sychronization program but this is not acceptable. I am unable to delete the file manually without resorting to re-booting the machine.

Any response on this?

I had the same problem occur today. Is there a workaround for this issue? The file in question was being copied from my C drive to a Lexar USB flash drive. This is becoming a bit of a nuisance.

Version 8.9 created an ffs_tmp file on my external drive for a file that was being synced. Now FFS locks up when trying to process this file. I am unable to delete the file manually. Everything I have tried locks up every application I try to use. How can I remove this file so that FFS will run ...

I too find this annoying. I am running version 8.1 and don't want further updates. I have unchecked the 'Check for updates' option but today I got notification that version 8.4 is available for download. The 'Check for updates' option now had a check mark beside it. How can one permanently turn off ...

Any progress on this front? I checked my log folder and there were over 13,000 entries! It needs to be an option that I can select somewhere. I am using version 8.1.

Well, I have narrowed down the problem. It appears that RealTimeSync crashes when I have my Roots Magic ancestry database open and doing updates to the database. Otherwise, RealTimeSync stays up and running.

Still no response on how to get the dumps to be generated.

RealTimeSync continues to crash on me. It appears to happen when I am updating my ancestry database. While doing this I have 3 Excel spreadsheets open, Word open, PSPad open, Explorer++ open, Comodo Ice Dragon browser open along with my ...

The exception code 0xc0000409 (STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN) suggests a stack overflow. To find out what RealTimeSync was doing at this time, try to create a manual crash dump of "RealTimeSync_x64.exe":

If you don't see the Windows crash dialog, e.g. because ...

Well there have been no crashes since May 3rd. The only thing I have really changed in Windows 10 is to turn off the 'Fast Startup' option. I don't know whether this was causing the problem or not. Also, your FAQ documents mention sending the dump to you but the documentation does not indicate where ...

Not sure exactly when I should be running Process Explorer. RealTimeSync has not abended so far today. Do I need to wait until an abend has occurred and then produce the dump?

Joyce

According to the Windows Event Viewer, this Exception Abend has happened 3 times so far today all at the same Fault Offset (0x000000000028a518). It has abended at the following times:

This problem really needs to be addressed as I ...

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and RealTimeSync is still crashing. Here is the error log from Windows 10:

I am running Windows 8.1 Home Edition 64-Bit with RealTimeSync starting at boot time. The build is dated Apr. 21, 2016. Every once in a while RealTimeSync shuts down on its own with no error message produced. Unless I notice that the icon is no longer in the Notification tray, my automatic backups ...

I guess I am missing something here. I have no filters set and I have asked to mirror one drive to another. To me this means making an exact copy - not having the program arbitrarily deciding which files to exclude. If there are symlinks on the original then they should be copied to the other drive ...

I am having the same problem where FreeFileSync running on a MAC does not synchronize all files from one USB device to another. Here is the process that I follow:

1) Run Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the MAC partition to external drive 1.
2) Run Paragon Boot Camp Backup to copy the BootCamp partition ...
