Maybe that file is locked while FFS is running, creating a deadlock. You could try excluding the FFS directory or enabling 'copy locked files' for FFS

You could mount the network path and use the local mount point in FFS or use the UNC path directly

Don't use mirror, use update

Thanks for the Beta. It finally did delete one log file today when I ran a sync. But there are still two logs rather than one. I guess it doesn't matter so long as they're being cu…

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up the automatic launch of backups on my PC using cron on Fedora 39 with FreeFileSync installed via Flathub. [Code] In the logs of my PC at the s…

In your second picture, the Mirror sync has become a Custom sync in which for the Difference Category "Item exists right-side only" the Action is now set to "Do nothing" (as oppose…

Hi xCSxXenon, yes, I'm sure it's not in local, I checked with ls -all command and also each time files are different, they are the file changed in the code folder

During the last few one-way syncs, I had to delete the “RecycleBin...tmp” file manually every time. I got this error message once:[Attachment]

Hi therube, thanks for your feedback. I found the reason of my issue : AVAST. Avast has secured several of my files... and that's why it's blocking access to them. By suspending Av…

Hallo, danke für die Antwort. Ja das weiß ich, dass das nicht dafür gedacht ist um Partitionen zu sichern. Ich nenne das nur so, weil auf Festplatte\Partition D alles Ordner sind m…

[Quote] I'll try to explain my problem... I have a server that every day updates a folder with some recordings and with the date marking, for example: "2024-03-21" and I need the 2…

I'm facing this same "problem" with a very similar system... would there be a solution to this problem, or so far nothing?

Thanks for your very quick reply. I should have also mentioned that the <Up> and <Down> arrows no longer scroll through the list of directories at the left of the main screen after…

@palmlart If the warning you get relates to the RecycleBin not being available for your SD card, you can change your [URL] setting from RecycleBin to Permanent for that sync.

Copying symlinks between SFTP wasn't implemented. But now it is: [URL]

When the "display errors" parameter in the execution of a "ffs_batch" is posted. Is there an audible notification when an error is detected?

Also: On which operating system does this happen?

Your paths aren't set correctly then Or you viewing filters are set so you don't see the differences after running a compare

Check your filter settings. Can you try the latest version of FFS?

You are right, Perhaps there isn't a universal solution that suits everyone. How about considering it as a feature that users can choose to enable or disable? After all, other tool…

Funny thing, Windows10pro updated this morning and afterward I ran the 13.6 update without a problem. Perhaps Microsoft disables some copy/move features while downloading files for…

In your local attempt, you apparently sync C:\Users with some other location. Be aware, that users, and (as far as I know) even users with administrator-rights, do by default not h…

"FFS will not go back to what it did earlier." I meant that by stopping and restarting FFS, it stayed at <1 kbps, and not what it originally transfered at 10-50mbps. Saturday morni…

Sometimes problems like this are caused by a change to [URL]. Click the link for more information.

Thanks for the reply. the folders had gotten mixed up in a way so a one way sync or a mirror sync wouldn't have worked. Either would have replaced some of the files I wanted to kee…

[URL] You can also run another comparison to see if there are any differences that matter

Versioning is only for files. Folders are only used to maintain directory structure for versioning. You could look into File History or a scheduled task that copies the saved-game …

I think I understand what the author of this is saying. I recently had a drive start having bad sectors and corruption while it was doing a FFS two-way sync. After that I tried fix…

I only wrote "it is not realistic to assume ...". Nowhere do I write that YOU assume anything, despite your false claim to the contrary. So, I did not misrepresent what you wrote a…

Running under SYSTEM also runs it with the SYSTEM credentials, meaning it is trying to access the NAS/network locations with them, and they probably don't have the necessary permis…

I don't know Gdrive in detail, but several cloud storage services retain previous versions of any files that get updated. And obviously, FFS updates the Gdrive-side *.ffs_db file a…

OS: Kubuntu 22.04 EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. First time install,the 'New' button is greyed out, on the interface and in the File menu.

Update 9.37 fix problem... I’ll leave it here, maybe someone uses the same combination and has encountered a similar problem. The update came out the other day. "Version 9.34 intro…

Ok so I scrapped everything and started over; no more error message so must have been some bug. It looks like shortening the idle time works to resolve my initial issue. I'll play …

Oh, I am pretty sure that is going to make the traffic go through the Mac and back to the NAS. [URL]
