Re: FreeFileSync on NAS
RSync does not copy files in readable format from one device to another. I'm using it now to 'backup' one share on my primary NAS, to my backup NAS. The Share appears on the backup NAS, but these are not readable files - the files are broken down into blocks with indicies, across multiple folders, etc ...

Re: FreeFileSync on NAS
rsync is good for the cli users who like to read man pages. FreeFileSync works better for regular desktop users. They definitely do not use the same configuration files/settings/options, so depending on the complexity of your FreeFileSync config, you might not find rsync suitable. If all you do is an ...

Re: Folder's modification timestamp changed
Thanks.
Although, the target folder's modified timestamp is changed according to synchronisation timestamp and
NOT the source folder's timestamp !
NB: rsync does adjusts target folder's timestamp to reflect source timestamps.
Any fix for that ?

Thank you for your reply.
I am sad to know that its a FFS feature.
Perhaps there is a way to synchronize directory time like Robocopy or Rsync.
Now I use Rsync to fix dir time after FFS sync finished.
