Yes, the setting is variant-dependent.

Hi I can successfully manually copy all the failed photo files to the backup drive. I wondered why the FFS 13.6 always fails after working awhile. It is disappointing because it is…

[Quote] It is peculiar that the error code would be ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD rather than e.g. ERROR_BUSY.

[Quote] This actually happened to me last night. Power in our area went out but my network equipment is on a UPS so it never turned off. Something got out of whack after my ISP inf…

It shows in Launcher but not in the Applications quick link in Finder.

Hi, is it possible to use your own mailserver with the current version? I have purchased the current Business Edition version but cannot use the mail service as our servers prohibi…

Compare was successful and after the search it said "no files to sync" and red "x" was displayed. But I found the cause of the error indication, even after a successful compare. It…

When it says it "can't find the file", does it specify which file? As in, the .ffs_batch file or the FFS executable file? If it can't find FFS itself, try uninstalling and reinstal…

[Quote] I agree, not caused by FFS. But! If a dump can reveal a smoking gun for a fault in the Windows installation or the environment itself, I have no qualms about assisting othe…

Please, no [URL].

So, in the Sync Settings (F8), select the Update sync variant instead of the Mirror (or Two-way) variant.

[Quote] Good thinking, I will take that timestamp approach then.

[Quote] With regards to SFTP you can only configure two things, connections and channels per connection. [URL]

Hello, when I try to sync from my Linux drive to an USB Stick formatted with exfat I get the following error message: "The file "/media/ulf/PC-daily-BK/documents/BDA_CometDECT__07_…

Later It's still not right. When I switch to my other USB drive which I use for backing up the C: drive it filters out 1.15 million files, but still wants to create nearly 430K fil…

I have 2x Win11 PC'c and a 1x Win10. The FreeFileSync scrollbar does certainly seem to be smaller than other programs on Win11. That said, yes all the scrollbars are smaller in Win…

GTK3 and now 4 have always had their own bizarre choices and ignore any downstream developers and users. It's a nice toolkit, if the quirks aren't breaking features you wish to use…

[Quote] I get this error. Edit: fixed by running: [Code] Maybe the installation script should check for dependencies and install the missing ones.

It works! I just tested it with….azure file shares mounted over internet. (Smb3 with encryption and ip whitelisting ) The nice thing is that this function is not so chatty as a nor…

Hi FFS support, have you been able to find solutions to the mirror sync's erratic behaviors? A mirror sync isn't really such if it cannot consistently make the target an exact copy…

[Quote] PayPal and credit cards are two accepted methods of donation. If you can't use either of those two options, you don't donate.

YES !!! - although the versioning directory is on another drive, which i had forgotten i had designated on this comparison. many thanks

Thanks for your reply, xCSxXenon. I looked at the thread that you linked, but I don't understand how it applies to my situation. If "multiple instances" means more than one FFS job…

Hello! Can I configure FFS so it executes the same task regardless of which OS I am using at the moment? I want to dual-boot Windows and Linux and my backup should start automatica…

I sent the info to them also. I just thought you should be aware. I'm sure it is frustrating to develop software and have this happen. Apologies if I was incorrect.

Hi I'm syncying large files (hundreds of GB per file) between two external disks. While the file is in sync, I can't download files using chrome as they seem to download but don't …

Will check it out, thanks!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! It makes sense, I will configure the task as you described. Thank you again man! :)

Filters attack with a vengeance lol

[Quote] Where are the config files saved that were disappearing? Somewhere on the local drive, or network location, portable USB stick...?

Do you have write permissions for "Z:\"?

Unfortunately, after years of using FreeFileSync, I'm going to have to find another product. I need real support and can't wait forever. It was a good run.

[Quote] Cool that works! Thanks much!

I've been using Windows 7 for over a dozen years. I know that it would be useful to finally switch to something newer. But only after replacing the hardware with a more powerful on…

You said you are using "mirror two-way sync". 'mirror' and 'two-way' are entirely different and cannot be used at the same time. Clarify what you mean. As far as FFS, it is complet…

Thanks, that fixed me up perfectly!

[Quote] Wow, thanks. That's it! :)

This is a straightforward Mirror sync, most settings are default. My Mac just says the system was restarted due to an issue, in the middle of the Sync job. As I said, the same sync…

[URL] You can run FFS syncs via the command line and designate a different GlobalSettings file. You would have a file that has VSS enabled and one Disabled. There isn't currently a…

[Quote] Sorry, I must not have been clear! I completely understand the issue you brought up and how your proposed solution would fix it. My rebuttal wasn't maliciously intended, ju…

Ahh, I see. Running the batch from within the app only does a compare, not a sync. Bit of a trap for your players! Thank you for the clarification @xCSxXenon
