FreeFileSync Forum

I am backing up a 8TB to different smaller drives, using FFS, teracopy, os copy, on MAcos monterey and Windows 11. I've seen incredible diffent speeds, from 70 MBps to few 100 kbps, windows explorer copy more than 120 MBps

yes I know, hoped the app had some more intelligence, but also more features means more potential errors

I'm restoring an 8TB drive from multiple external drive, everytime I launch FFS it scans ALL the folders in the target, and this is time consuming.
Since i'm targeting few folders in UPDATE mode, no files will be written on the others and there's no need to scan them.
Is there a way to limit this ...

MacOS
During a long sync, the window that displays the real time info, disappeared, maybe after I clicked the blue arrow that shloud minimize.
the main window is grey but the icon shows the percentage, increasing

How can I restore?

Thanks

when I launch a batch operation to copy all the pdf from a mac desktop to an external drive.

Cannot read file attributes of "/Volumes/Expansion/Magazine/Saramago, José".
this maybe a directory [lstat]
Cannot read file attributes of "/Volumes ...

I get this error, but these files dont exist in source or dest.
maybe they were here in the past

very strange

when copiing I would like to kkep the original date-time of the original
