Thanks

thanks for the prompt feedback I reverted to v12.4 meanwhile

Right-click the column headers (Name or Log). Is 'Last sync' checkmarked (enabled)?

Ah, doh! Thanks for spotting my really dumb error.

Raidrive is another good free app that's easy to use. Let us know how it goes.

The files were not locked. We simply mounted the share and started copying files. There is no antivirus on the Mac. The Mac is the client. The server is IBM proprietary, not Window…

[Quote] Perhaps. No idea.

This issue has been "fixed" in the next FreeFileSync version by providing a proper DB-based "update" variant! [Code] See also: [URL]

This will be possible in the next FreeFileSync version! [Code] See also: [URL]

There's a proper solution to the issue of renamed folders and the "update" variant in the next FreeFileSync version: The "update" variant will be based on "changes" in the same way…

[Quote] That may be. But it is not even necessary to create them, because they already exist. And they are hidden anyway. So FFS has just to update the "normal" partition. Too bad,…

Very slow, but only for one folder out of three… Maybe it's still kind of indexing my external drive and it will be faster at some time… I'l give it a few days and asses!

I see. Thank you for your explanation. I'll handle these specific cases manually whenever they arise.

You will probably need to enable "Copy locked files" in the settings and run as administrator Why are you syncing your pagefile to an external drive? Use the filter settings to exc…

[Quote] Wooooooow. I can't believe that was it. I am hating that my team chose Windows for their server platform. This should not be a problem in a 2022 version Windows OS.

[Quote] That is perfectly fine, which is why Plerry stated it was absurd to say 'never use mirror sync'

Hi databoxer, In your case you might want to try running the Linux version of FFS on your Windows computer. Windows now has WSL 2 which is a full installation of Ubuntu Linux. Wind…
