FreeFileSync Forum

I am a new user of this tool and there is much that I like. One feature that would be very helpful for me relates to filtering of a Compare. I would like a simple way to restrict t…

thumbs up 100% support for this request.

recently i upgraded to version 7 and added a new sync job. The new sync job always shows an result window on finishing the job. How to disable this (my old job doesn't show such wi…

hi wouldn't it would be great to (optionally) have Windows Explorer's right click menu below current right-click menu? in particular I was thinking about my "Compare to..." option …

Can't find the mentioned discussion, sorry. Do you have a link?

Make Backup with Device-ID / Volume-ID like: \\?\Volume{ec1ec388-6cd2-11e2-be65-806e6f6e6963} So it is possible to make backup in a non visible Volume.

.. my issue is solved - there was some pacman problem for boost - after reinstalling in force mode I could build ffs again

RealtimeSync needs a design overhaul anyway, most importantly to show the paths of the files that trigger changes in real time. Currently the background process doesn't have its ow…

[Quote] I am saying that your case is so specific Zenju can reasonably ignore it (I don't know if he accepts funding for specifics).

[Quote] There seems to be further movement on this issue suggesting Sourceforge are backtracking on these actions See [URL] Whether one can now totally trust them from now on is an…

My Apologies jonrichco for not responding faster. I have just lived through an extremely uncomfortable day. I live in NE Thailand and in a Monsoon storm yesterday a large tree fell…

I am being rude to the same amorphous group of people as you, the people that don't understand. Do *not* make me the bad person Anyway, I think, as time passes you will understand.…

It's not just a trust issue, it's looking to see if *I* screwed something up! When I move a folder, I see the entire folder contents (all the files) in the deleted section and agai…

[Quote] do you want to talk more crap? like thumbs are compulsory to maintain state? you seem like a young person to me, no offence, just young and inexperienced

Good, I've included the changes for the next version. Here's the new beta for testing: [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_7.1_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Thanks for your fast reply and the clarification. I will install the updated release now. And thank you very much for your hard work and your great program.

I wonder if this wouldn't be better generalised by using an external prog to do the comparison as there are potentially myriad variants of permissions.

Are modification times preserved when copying with Windows Explorer?

Hello, I love FFS and really only have one feature request for FFS. I'd love for it to correct folder names that are too long, truncate file names if necessary OR create temporary …

[Quote] Ok, next time, when i get this error, i create a dumpfile. For now i had this correct whith stopp and start the vss services, etc.

Copy locked files (use vss) should not be a global option, better it is a option for each task individual.

+1. I agree that some additional control over the logging format and detail would be extremely useful.

[Quote] Thank you for the quick reply Zenju and for pointing me to the right direction. I'm using Synology NAS as a Backup location, which has a linux based OS. I found out that Li…

[Quote] Thanks I confirm this version works. I had to overwrite the files I had sync with previous version in order to have the correct timestamps. After that it works like before …

Hi It would be good to have the option that users do not have to open the full FreeFileSync GUI to resolve file change conflicts. Secondly, it is not desirable that when running mi…

Thanks Zenju works well. I included the 4 files I wanted (out of 1800 in the folder). I was afraid that the "Include via filter" would apply to my other configurations as well, but…

Thanks for the work-around, but it would be nicer to have a built-in solution for that.

Great, thanks!! :-)

Ok, that's a good news, I'll check that asap... Thank you

Why not use data encryption when dealing with sensitive data?

This theme for Wordpress is free: [404, Invalid URL: http://shapebootstrap.net/demo/wordpress/flat_theme/] If developers want I can adapt to the site. What do you think?

Did you click on "menu->tools: Reset Layout"? This should get rid of most layout problems.

[Quote] I probably erred in not being clear that I'm not proposing a .NET dependency--I'm simply using the Log4Net Pattern Layout architecture as an example of the flexibility of m…

BTW, if your comparison setting is "File time and size" then the number of files rather than the size of the files is what will affect the compare time most, traversing paths, etc …

Profit is not a dirty word. Zenju has already confessed to a passion for perfecting his craft; it shows clearly in FFS. But because it's freely available, he's not able to put as m…

Parsing the logs is made more difficult by the extra lines that occasionally appear for an individual entry in a file. One line per entry will significantly ease the task. Given th…

I'm not sure exactly what it is you want to do but I use FFS to sync to local Dropbox, etc. folders which then get synced to the cloud in the normal way. Works nicely. You can even…

There is a Win beta mentioned over in Help if anyone is interested.

In some OS (my example is FreeBSD, another is Gentoo Linux), there is the practice when the user can disable certain option for all packages. Particular relevant options here are D…

This is just a compile-time reminder for a TODO and can be ignored.

what you're expected to do is Save once you have a pair or set of pairs configured

Oops, Looks like this has already been requested in "Enable/Disable folder pairs" thread. Wasn't looking for Enable/Disabe when I was searching. I would like to see a check box by …

For those the beginners, here is are more details on the very correct solution of Zenju and steve-p. If you run the synchronization using the batch file created by FFS, then you ca…

I've changed the layout a bit; download workflow should be clear now: [URL]

This could be the same problem as discussed in this thread, e.g. caused by a Virus Scanner such as Comodo: [URL]

Hi Zenju, Sorry only just noticed your post (that will teach me to remember to tick the M box. Seems to work great and as i wanted after one sync test 2 (nitpicking) observations i…

[Quote] Excellent! :)

[Quote] Hi Zenju, Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunaly I have a couple of pc linked to this folder and also another sysnc running on a sub folder.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. What would really help me and maybe others as well, were an example of when and how to use the Include section. Filters are the most challengi…
