Any replies for this?

[Quote] Amazing!

Hi, I'm using FreeFileSync 9.9 Build: 09/03/2018 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. When I create a mirror backup FFS creates ffs_tmp folders. For example RecycleBin.6a51.ffs_tmp. I am unab…

I have FFS with this \\Server\Q_Quickbooks - Green Background \\Server\S_Shared - Yellow Background \\Server\F_Fax - Red Background I would like the comparison results to be in dif…

This is a consequence of the latest changes in FFS 10.0 related to multithreading. When paused FFS will finish processing the active item in the background and only block when tryi…

[Quote] This problem has been resolved with FFS 10.0. FFS will now use exactly as many connections as configured, both during comparison (earlier versions used one connection per f…

[Quote] That's great, but I wouldn't give too much on AV flags. Currently at least one version of MS AV is flagging all versions of FreeFileSync with some alleged installer malware…

Yes, I know. I'd be all for it. But those "ancients" I'm dealing with are not. I know, that this suggestion is just treating the symptom and not the root cause, but the root causes…

What would you do if you could invert the selection? Is there some scenario that is currently too difficult? As a workaround you can CTRL+A and then CTRL+L-Mouse on the items you d…

I am using FFS to back up my local Drive to a remote server via sftp, this means that I have to transfer a large amount of data with a relatively small upload rate, so the sync wil…

Man, thanks a lot! I just done it wrong, thats it! "If an ffs_batch file was entered instead, the task would return with error code 2147942593 (0x800700C1), "%1 is not a valid Win3…

Hi everyone ! I am looking for a FTP/SFTP provider that would work with FreeFileSync. I would need something like 2-3TB of space and good bandwidth. Does someone already uses this …

Fixed! The update check is now run asynchronously: [URL]

If the officially-provided version was compiled on Intel x86_64, which I suspect it was (and you could verify by running file "file /usr/bin/FreeFileSync"), it will not execute on …

Yes.

net use \\server\sharebkup /d net use \\server\sharebkup /user:admin password of course this only works if it's the ONLY share or you have to remap existing net use \\server\* /d n…

if I could filter the list to only show folders / certain files without changing my filters that would be great add an additional filter / subfolder depth within the already exhaus…

much typing... select from list of available profiles it's 2018

that's great, but it doesn't save with the profile.. <TimeSpan Type="None">0</TimeSpan>

An input helper for the exclude filter seems needed, e.g. a checkbox-tree. This would greatly simplify the problem of having to enter filter settings manually in cases where an ini…

Upgraded from 9.4 to 10. Very nice.

Fixed! I've added options to install for the current user or for all users. Only latter requires admin rights. [URL]

@Plerry, thanks for the very clear explanation. Any idea why my exclusion filters did not work? [Quote] I'll leave the task as is, where it mirrors the source files to files in the…

So, was this feature removed in version 10.0? Why?

This fits in the discussions on more refined Version control. See e.g. [URL].

[Quote] No, but the "Sofort" option should work as an alternative.

I need to do a one-way sync files from a remote SFTP server directory to a local directory. After the sync is complete, I have to move the downloaded files to a separate directory.…

Outlook PST files are easily 20GB these days. In addition, breaking down the outlook.pst to individual pst still contains 20+GB of cumulative pst files. When emails are moved into …

Please keep the discussion in English.

Long path support is not a new Windows feature, it's just that an additional way to activate long path support has been added in Windows 10. Currently there is no actual benefit th…

Thanks, that's clearer for me. So Everything is based only on reading, not writing, and fine precision is not critical and neither are rights. This clearly explains why Microsoft d…

[Quote] I actually recommend the opposite of what you are proposing: using the HDD for the local backup (store it in another room out of sight) and the cloud backup for the offsite…

Hello (this text is translated from French) For my backup strategy, I use Resilio Sync in duet with FFS. It is very effective, I propose it here for those who meet the concern of t…

[Quote] Curious. I have scanned up to four volumes (four separate SSDs in this case) at a time using four separate instances of FFS running simultaneously.

Okay, thank you :)

Relatedly, would you be interested in sharing the source tree in a version control system? I appreciate the source code from your tarballs, but with the source tree, the guys who p…

Have you tried to look here? [URL] it works perfectly to me .... be careful not to make the mistake of inserting the variables in the command line....

First thought: make a comparison with a hex editor.

This may be a very old discussion, but I am (still?) experiencing the same thing with Windows 10 build 1709. It seems to be a Windows problem, not a FreeFileSync problem, judging f…
