Re: File "modified" date/time changed
How can I get FFS to not change the time and date of files? FFS doesn't change file metadata, except to correct it. When FFS transfers a file, it will have the wrong modification time, and then FFS corrects it. If FFS can't correct it, something is preventing it. Phones using MTP are a common occur...

Re: Is there a way to set "Exit" as a default choice?
You want to set 'exit' for your permanent option for what?
In FFS, you can have a sync configuration run a post-sync command, or you can save as a batch job which provides an option to sleep or shut down the computer afterward. Are these along the lines you are looking for?

Re: Stuck on volume Shadow Copy
It seems most correct that it isn't an issue with FFS then.
It is more likely a problem with your Windows 11 installation. Run an in-place upgrade / repair install and see what happensor a general problem with VSS in Win11

Re: how do run FileSync during windows shutdown ?
That was my first link but they were unable to figure it out...Did you try using the Windows Task Scheduler?
There you can choose to run tasks based on a given time, but also upon given events, such as startup, login, logoff and shutdown. Plerry, 20 Mar 2024, 13:17

Re: how do run FileSync during windows shutdown ?
You might find it easier to simply write a batch script that runs the FFS sync and then runs the shutdown command after that finishes. Name it whatever, but it would contain two lines: "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Path\To\Your\FFS\Config\File" and shutdown...

Re: Synchronize files based on their creation date.
There isn't currently a way to define a sync order, other than manual babysitting. For example, only syncing a subset of directories first, then another set, then another, and on and on. Or, running a comparison to gather all changes and selecting what you want in the results to sync 'selectively'. ...

Good concern to have, as FFS will absolutely copy corrupted data just as well as good data. If a monitored location can't be seen at all, RTS will never start a sync anyway, so no worry there. There is no concrete answer to your question, because as always, "it depends". Why would "no...
