FreeFileSync Forum

@el_sabio_ I'm tired of reading nonsense. Hard drives fail, in the first post you said you have been using these hard drives for several years. FFS is a very good and indisputable program. Regarding the technician ... better not say what I think. I have been using FreeFileSync for many years without...

You can get Gsmartcontrol, and look at reallocated sectors, uncorrectable sectors, failed mechanical starts, pending reallocations, etc. Thank you very much. What should I do if a reallocated sector, uncorrectable sector, failed mechanical start, or pending reallocation is found? Is there a softwar...

Those programs didn't cause any BSOD. Utter nonsense. Both very highly trusted and worldwide used programs. . . Been running for years on dozens of rigs. I don't dispute that. I would love to have a Windows professional closeby who would resolve my little troubles here and there. Unfortunately, I d...

After the FFS informed me that i...

...Something related to stack overflows, access violations, indexes out of range? I am not aware of anything like this. Everything worked with simply sync, the problem was only when I started to copy over 50 or so GB to the USB ext. HDD. I used FFS to sync around 100 or so GBs before to a USB-C con...

Hello sarana, I've been using FreeFileSync for backups since years, synchronizing thousands of GB and I have never had a problem like you described. For a fresh copy (no need to sync), i just use the simple Windows interface. Before saying FreeFileSync is the guilty, it would be interesting to see ...

Hi, I don't know whether FreeFileSync did this, but I am not able to think of any other reason. I have five HDDs for backup which I have been using several years and just yesterday I wanted to change my backup system. So, big moving. Copying around 800 GB to an ext. HDD from my laptop's SSD maybe af...
