DumpStack.log is a file containing a dump of the stack (understand "copy of the memory"). It is generated by windows when there is a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) for troubleshooting. Pagefile. sys is a system file in Windows set aside for your computer's Random Access Memory (RAM), also kn...

> nothing is found on the Humax Is nothing found, or is nothing showing as needing to be synced? By default FSS will only show left vs right differences, resulting in some sort of proposed sync action. If left and right are equal, by default the Compare results will be empty. But by clicking the &qu...

Are you downloading from the official FFS download location in the Download FreeFileSync section (4 different downloads)?

Using the Include and/or Exclude Filter is the way to go for repetitive sync tasks. If you continuously need to sync different extensions: After running a Compare in the FFS GUI, you can show and sort by file-extension. Assuming you have the default FFS GUI layout, you can right-click in the Compare...

Possible it is. As "Advance Run" does it. And any program that run as "Administrator" can ... I disagree. What you are asking is that a program (in casu FFS) would be able to elevate its own rights while already launched with less rights. No program can (nor should be able to) e...

You can modify the FFS language in the FFS GUI,
via (English version) Tools / Language, (German version) Extras / Sprache

Perhaps an open door, but ...
Did you save the *.ffs_batch job at stake with Auto-close checkmarked?
See here.

Obviously that is not possible.
If whatever program would be able to elevate itself to Administrator / TrustedInstaller, that would pose an enormous security risk.

In the FFS GUI, first check in the Exclude Filter (F7) that you have not excluded any files that you want to be part of the sync. Then run just a Compare (no sync), and then check the results, particularly by making the result category "left and right are equal" visible (by toggling the &q...

Perhaps you can use the Time-span function in FFS, by only copying recent (left-side) files.

https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=realtimesync https://youtu.be/9KXo6yOhTWo Note that FTP does not support directory monitoring. But, as your sync seems to be LocalDisk => FTP it would be uni-directional, with changes only originating on your LocalDisk. There is no need to monitor the FTP lo...

This should also work for any (integer) amount of hours time difference between UTC and your local time

Assuming Window, go to your Task Manager (e.g. via Control-Alt-Del), identify your RTS task and end it there. Or, simply restart your computer. Obviously, if you have set the RTS task to autostart (via the autostart folder, or via the Task Scheduler), you need to remove the task from there before re...

On second thought ... There may be a possibility to do this with FFS, irrespective of the file-date being updated by the changes or not. In the Synchronization Settings (F8 in the FFS GUI), you can select a Custom sync variant. For the left-most Difference Category " Item exists on left side on...

Not a feature available in FFS now. And (my guess ...) not likely to be added, as it is quite specific. But, that is up to the author, Zenju. > ... they sometimes change size without changing the contents You don't indicate if the file-date remains unchanged or not. If it remains unchanged, it seems...

The FFS donation version will only install if the *.key-file is present.
Assuming your donation version works, you don't need to do anything extra.

> How do I get those categories to appear?
They only appear after running a Compare.
If after running a Compare they are still hidden, you may have messed up your FFS GUI layout.
You can restore it in the FFS GUI via
Tools / Reset Layout

Obviously, there is no FFS for an iPhone.

You should be able to sync your PC or MAC with your iPhone via USB using FFS,
but you would need to set your iPhone in the USB MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode.

Check the Internet on how to do this.
This may vary per iOS version.

Did you bother visiting the download page ?

If you still have the donation version installed, then in the FFS GUI click Help / Check for updates now and at the bottom click Home page. This will open a webpage that has the form of https://freefilesync.org/thank-you.php?tx=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where the X-s are your unique donation code. Copy tha...

> How can I setup the recyclebin on the external harddisk, so it can be found and used by FreeFileSync? You can not. That is not an FFS limitation, but simply the fact that the OS of the system on which FFS is run does/can not see such remote recycle-bin. However, in FFS you can use Versioning . You...

Questionable hardware can always cause trouble.
But as your drive is apparently a USB connected drive, it could be your drive-letter is changing and causes the issue.
In that case, you can use unique volume names.

The obvious question then is:
How did you specify the external disk?
Type the address yourself? If so, what does it look like?
Drag-drop into a FFS GUI base location field?

> ... I have used your free software ...

Zenju is the sole author, so I am redirecting your appreciation towards him (or is it her?).
I am just a (meanwhile a bit experienced) enthusiastic user of the program.

What do you mean "I don't see"? It is pretty clear:

In the Include/Exclude filter (F7), you can also select a minimum and/or maximum size of the files to be included in the sync (top-right).

> Is the donation a once-off amount or does the software deactivate the Donation Version after a period of time? In the past, your donation would expire after a time depending on the amount you donated. This did not mean your software would deactivate; it would continue to work indefinitely, but you...

It is as xCSxXenon says. RealTimeSync (RTS) does not have any timing schedule to trigger its command line (normally an FFS sync). So, there must be something (a program, virus scanner or whatever) that creates a change that triggers RTS to launch its command line. You can use the %change_action% env...
