[Quote] Thanks very much !

There should only be one sync.ffs_db file per sync config, how many do you have?

it works thank you!!

The best advice anyway: Run your FFS (backup) syncs under dedicated user credentials, only this dedicated sync user having write access to the backup location; all other users only…

Fixed, thanks!

Ok, I'm a rookie here. I cannot hide this. :) Ty again.

Should be gone after you've checked for updates manually, then restarted FFS: menu -> help: check for updates

Thanks for the report! Issue has been fixed: [URL]

> Scanning file by file remotely are so expensive. Not sure what you mean. Expensive in what sense? Taking a lot of time? High provider cost? For every sync, there is always just o…

Hi, is there any possibility of an iPad or android app in the pipeline? Foldersync looks like the closest option on Android, and now with usb4 iPads it would need awesome to backup…

NTFS should work reliable in all cases unlike FAT (FAT32, exFAT), which allows for move detection "sometimes".

Thank you for the suggestion. There are a lot of directories and that might be cumbersome to set up, but I'll try it next time if need be. I got too frustrated in the few days befo…

Thanks for the pointer I hadn't considered the manual real folder solution which I think will have to do. I had hoped for a virtual solution to keeping things in the same place but…

Thank!

[Quote] What error messages do you see? Creating folders with leading/trailing spaces are allowed as far as FFS is concerned.

Any plans that the prices will be dependent of the number of clients? I really love the suggestion!

if I changed file A , and then restore it, "File content" is the same, but updated the "modified time". I want the old file can cover this. so after compare by "file time and size"…

My OneDrive has 11,000 files and a 200KB db file, so Zenju is right about it not being the appropriate size. My only curiosity is if the db file works across different computers. R…

That error couldn't be any clearer. the modified time on those files is out of the range that FAT can store

That risk is mitigated by air-gapping the backup

Good tip -- I didn't know about this. But I think you have to be careful, as selecting folders on the right side for deletion could end up deleting more than the files you've selec…

[Quote] Absolutely what?

+1 to amazing!

You would have to create something, probably using Task Scheduler. FFS doesn't support this natively

"Command+W" is a system shortcut on macOS. Also, the confirmation dialog seems to be somewhat cumbersome. Maybe we can do better: new handling in FFS 11.16: • New keyboard shortcut…

+1 as well. My speed fluctuates wildly depending on whether it's in the middle of copying a single large file, or tons of small ones. Would be nice to know on average how much inte…

The API that the Windows Recycle bin exposes is not the issue. Other softwares like Teracopy, DigitalVolcano's Duplicate Cleaner, etc... call the window shell directly while deleti…

[Quote] Thank You.

You may know this, but you can hover your cursor over them to pop up what pair of locations they are representing.

Another option that may work better is to have a seperate disk for those macrium backups. It also makes it easier to restore a backup if the main drive dies for any reason (I've ha…

That would work! Thank you :)

Maybe this scenario could be covered by adding an input help window for the file filter in the form of a checkbox tree. This would make it possible to set folder exclusions more co…

This is PayPal's decision for whatever reason.

Oh nice! I missed that update, that is super nice

You only need donation for the natively supported emails, not to run a post-sync command
