FreeFileSync Forum

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,…

The status is linked to the log file, and with a comparison only there is no new log. In some way, the convenience of updating the "Last sync" time after a comparison doesn't reall…

[Quote] The current behavior can certainly be improved, but for the record: Placing the following in the "Run a command" field in sync settings will do: [Code]

Having the same problem on MacOS with 10.11 with SMB, and it's particularly bad on Apple FS shares.

I would like to be able to not only exclude files from the sync, but also to be able to specify file patterns that will be deleted from the target directory. This could be me, e.g.…

When backing up my web server via FTP, files may change in the meantime, such as log files. Can you perhaps introduce an option that allows me to indicate before the backup that su…

+1; nice suggestion

[Quote]FreeFileSync (FFS) is, as the name implies, primarily a synchronization program. What you describe is not a Sync but, like you state yourself, a Move. FFS can do the first p…

Thanks for replying Zenju, but I don't see a relevance to my problem. I don't have copy errors when syncing. The Synology disc station has a different file system and approximates …

In the [URL] you can set the VerifyCopiedFiles flag to "true". However, this means that uploaded data needs to be downloaded again to be compared to the local version, so it will c…

Generally, moved files will not be deleted. And instead of files getting deleted you can specify any one folder to move them to: Synchronization - Versioning - Specify destination …

First I be sure to have the 'Detect moved files' box checked at 'Synchronization Settings' once and for each session. Be sure that it's not accidently unchecked. Then I only have t…

It is understood. I'm usually deleting files. The second disc is for backup. I think freefilesync does not work for me. I will have to copy manually on a regular basis. Many thanks…

I have now downloaded and watched a few of the video tutorials now but have a few questions. I have bought a WD 10TB (single drive) external drive to backup my 2 internal drives in…

This folder exclusion isn't working as expected. (That is, the folder is syncing anyway). [Code] This is on macOS 10.13.6 and FFS 10.11. Is there something I'm doing wrong in the d…

DIR gives you the present status of the folder. The sync.ffs_db file contains info on the status per the end of the last sync. So, the two only contain the "same" information if no…

FreeFileSync has the capability of syncing files that have been created during a specific time interval. I would like to suggest expanding this to sync files created since a specif…

Please ignore my question. I simply misbehaved the program

Thank you very much for the clarification
