FreeFileSync Forum

You may need to boot into a Linux OS that will bypass the attributes that Windows looks at. If that fails, it may just be completely dead

I ran into the same issue and figured out that FFS was stopping on a file error (cannot copy file... or something). I simply opened FFS task configuration and checked 'Ignore Error…

hello, i also need a simpler file versioning modus. like this: [URL] i do not work with high complex projekt folder structure. i most edit one dokument and i would like to have a '…

The error says that Freefilesync cannot move an *.*ffs_tmp (several files in several popup) in the Recycle Bin. Some Help? Release 10.13

I realize now what I really need is a command line sync so that so I can create folder pairs on the fly. Update: I have create a test command with 3 left and 3 right folders. The G…

As Compare works, you apparently still have read access on the WD My Cloud device share. But as writing there fails, apparently you no longer have write access.

This sounds like a case for a Custom sync variant, as you can select in the Synchronization settings (F8), and where you can define your custom actions. If we assume that you defin…

There is a fascinating discussion on Linux Weekly News about a proposed addition to the Linux kernel that could be an alternative to fsync() that would be particularly useful on ce…

Hi Zenju, Thank you for your reply. The default setting in VeraCrypt is set to "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers", so I was thinking because this is a security fe…

You could solve this using multiple folder pairs, with the last pair syncing only last_sync.txt.

Your use case is quite specific, in that you intend to replicate the full path (with the exception of the drive letters). There may be other use cases where it desirable to duplica…

[Quote] For the Update variant: Yes, that's it :)

... am calling FFS via batch file and branching on ERRORLEVEL... calling a "pass.bat" or a "fail.bat" which contains environment variables for the PC it ran on. Chuck

I have a daily batch file sync scheduled, and each morning I like to peruse the Log Viewer that lingers. Sorting out which rows are for "Deleting", which for "Creating" and which f…

Thank you

Final beta works great! Off topic - I ended up playing with the parallel options, gained about a minute, cut compare times by almost a third :-) Very sweet.

Any help please?

That is where the Include and Exclude filter come in. If you only need to sync a limited number of fixed folders in "infiles" in the sync, you can list those folders in the Include…

If others have a similar use case, I found a workaround, unfortunately quite manual, but solves the problem: Create an additional configuration that Mirrors an empty folder to your…

Hello, Forum! I have 3 ideas about log files. 1. FreeFileSync creates a jointed log file, if several tasks has been run together after they have been selected by mouse in the confi…

Thank you! I observed recently with my locally-compiled version of FreeFileSync, that the sounds were not working. But having options is always a plus. I'm sure some users depend o…

correct! Same issue here. +1 refer to: [URL]

I have internal HDD and external HDD. In the internal HDD I make the projects on Premiere to edit it. When I finished I move to the external HDD. Because the internal HDD have less…

I'd simply "touch" these files from the Linux command line and be done with it.

i have exactly the same issue as papavector. it would be much more elegant to have a batch file of batch files or one batch file that could trigger multiple watches on many differe…

Brilliant!! Thank you!

Hi, I build the software and find the Resources.zip is missing so the program cannot run properly. If I use the Resources.zip from an earlier version, e.g., 10.11, the program runs…

Thank you Plerry, that works :-)

Hi Robin What compiler are you using in Windows? Could you share your contact by private message? We could help each other. Thanks.

Sorted - I think: enabled Advanced Permissions on source and target and allowed NAS admin user to read/write. No errors thus far!

I have two suggestions: 1. While FFS is running, the display shows n.nn MB/sec and n.nn items/sec. With the latter, if you are syncing large files, you can get very small numbers, …

Hello, can anyone with competence help me?

[Quote]FFS removes (or at least: should have removed) all lock files it created, upon completion of the FFS sync job. This is also the reason why it should not be a problem FFS cre…

It should! For your Compare settings (F6) make sure to select the "File time and size" variant.

Seriously asking you that what should I do? Take another sync client to use?? of......giving up to use FreeFileSync???

Example: I have two flash drives one has the label FLASH NEW the other the label FLASH OLD. I would like to control backups to these flash drives using a single configuration file,…
