The commands Replace or Timestamp give the same result in the revisioning
folder, files with timestamp.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Alright, since there are obviously a number of users doing path evaluations with programs that are not Unicode-aware, most notably cmd.exe, and the new log file name is just cosmetics, I'll revert to the old naming convention in the next release.
Thank you Zenju, IMO the only alternative to FFS is ...

Sorry Wm I only browse Help when I need something. Issue solved, thanks again Zenju.

micha, I didn't write Windows, I can't use something cmd/batch/prompt/Windows or whatever you call it doesn't support.

I just don't understand why a . or a - is not good enough and why the need to change it with something different from the Windows standard and that we don't really need.

Please ...

Please use dots or dashes for the h mm and ss for the log name file,
filestr can't open the log file anymore and can't search inside for the
keywords and I am unable to send notifications via email.

Please revert or change to . or -.

Thank you.

The commas you are using on the file naming ...

Hi, thank you for this. Few questions:

1) Do I have to put this file on "On completion:"? Just exactly like a .bat file?

2) Do I have to create multiple copies based on how many profiles I have? With different names?

3) How can I use it with the Gmail SMTP (SSL, Auth etc.)?

Thank again.

The "Copy locked files" box was unchecked. Issue solved, sorry for the trouble.

Hello,
Did anyone else started having this problem? FFS was fine until last week then something happened, maybe a MS update, but now it doesn't copy files "locked by another process", for example: quickbooks, outlook PST etc.

Do I need to change anything in my configuration, again, it was perfectly ...

External hard disks, just like USB sticks, fill up their internal buffer first and only then start writing actual data.Zenju

Agree, did few more tests. The thread can be closed, thank you.

Not a USB stick but SATA Hard Drive on a USB3 Enclosure.

I had to backup less than 200 files with FFS and everything was perfect, ~150-160MBps.

I have no idea why FFS slows down with a lot of files.

6.7 and 6.8 same speed. Backing up ~1000 files right now, FFS = ~20-30MBps, stop FFS, copy a large ISO with Windows explorer = ~160-180MBps, restart FFS = ~20-30MBps.

Any ideas?

With USB 3, when a lot of data needs to backup, it goes down to 20-30MBps
from over 150. I don't remember is 6.8 did it too but I think it did, I
will try 6.7 later and I will probably report Monday.

I've tried to copy/paste a big file from Windows before restarting the
external drive or the PC and ...

Sorry, please delete, I was missing an * in the configuration.

Solved replacing "\Data01\" with "\Data01\*" in "Include:".

Thanks.

Here is my setup:

Mirror from D: ([Data3TBSea]) to E: ([BAK2TBSea]).

When a folder/file is created on D: everything is copied correctly but when I delete it not everything is being moved to [BAK2TBSea]\Revisions.

This is what happens all the time (an example):

Zenju, thank you for your reply. I thought once you define "if errorlevel 1" every other higher level was going to be included in this section and excluded from a new different errorlevel search.

This final script I am using works perfectly, if I find any issue I will try to tweak it with the one ...

This one works perfectly:
