I should mention that I'm aware of the "ignore errors" option, but I have not been able to test to see if that option simply ignores errors (as it says), or if it still reports them and asks for user input, but allows the job to continue running in the background. I want to resolve any pot...

I started a fairly large (almost 8 TB) mirror operation before going to bed. It was projected to take about 12 hours, so I wanted it to run overnight. Unfortunately, it looks like about 24 minutes in, it paused because of an error. I clicked "ignore" and it kept going. It should have skipp...

Any suggestion for this?

OP mentioned command lines and batch files, so it sounds like perhaps one of the threads he found has instructions to do it that way.

Yep, just did some testing on my side. Excluded directories in the filter section aren't scanned even at the comparison stage. Must be a typo in OP's filter.

Yes, the console windows will appear by default when a command is being run. You can minimize the windows to get them out of the way, but if you close them any programs running in them (like RealTimeSync) will also be terminated. The FFS manual does mention a way to prevent the console window from a...

Does this happen with every folder you tested with, or only those in Documents?

This should just automatically work, I would think? Assuming you mirror over the contents of the expensive datacenter server to the cheap datacenter server correctly, when FFS runs afterwards, it should detect only files changed since the bulk copy. In any case, you should manually run the compariso...

Have you tried manually FTPing the file over to the same server and directory? It might not be an issue with FFS.

I have a fairly simple situation where I need to update a target folder with only certain items from the source folder. In my specific case, the source folder contains a bunch of recovered files from a failing hard drive. The target folder has about 95% of the files, while the source folder has abou...

Unfortunately, it looks like the filter step only occurs after the comparison step. It would be nice to have an exclusion list for the comparison list too. Like saying "Compare drive A with drive B, except for directories with the string 'IGNORE' in the name".

Okay, great!

Hello, all! New FFS user here. Only discovered it today but I've kicked in $10 already since it's been so impressive. My background is in UNIX systems administration, so I still use rsync (even on Windows, under cygwin) to update my backups. At least until now. :) Is there a bug tracker and feature ...
