FreeFileSync Forum

I'll watch this the next time I do a backup and 1) make sure there is only 1 copy running and 2) check the setting mentioned in the other thread. Thanks for the pointer to the othe…

Aside from RTS, if you attempt a similar regular sync, does that work correctly with .zip files? AFAIK, FFS does not treat .zip files any differently from any other file. So might …

[Quote] Only with FFS's sync I have for this (new flash) drive. I have two other syncs, one between an external HD and my local HD and one between two external drives. Both with "c…

Run a compare and see if what FFS says the differences are

Because FTP doesn't support monitoring. You can simply remove the FTP location from the RTS configuration if you don't need to monitor changes on it

> How can I setup the recyclebin on the external harddisk, so it can be found and used by FreeFileSync? You can not. That is not an FFS limitation, but simply the fact that the OS …

Well, I found the reason for that weird behaviour. There was a mismatch of character sets while extracting the files from an archive. I fixed that and now FreeFileSync works fine. …

Thanks Plerry.

[Quote] I said I hadn't seen it but now it's good, sorry mistranslated.

Tested, unfortunately does not bring any clarification (I have slightly expanded the command): [Code] but the result is not suitable for debugging: [Code] I've thrown out FFS now a…

We will have to agree to disagree on what constitutes a backup. When I copy files to an external device (more than one, actually) then disconnect it after the process completes, I …

Indeed! Thanks!

Any thoughts on the suggested improvements?

ok thanks!

ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT is probably from STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT at NT kernel level: [URL]

hello, I have returned to the donation edition since yesterday morning and from that time I haven't had any error. I have made a fine tuning on the number of threads used by the ei…

Thanks, it works!

When i use "file FreeFileSync_12.2-Linux.run" then it results me in 32-bit ELF format. S the executable contains only 32bit version.

Isn't that done automatically? Tools | Options -> Default log folder:

According to the following article, Finder comments are stored in both .DS_Store and a file's extended attributes. [URL] • .DS_Store is excluded by FFS by default, but you can chan…

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly! I cannot completely rule out that my setup has instabilities with such relatively large uploads. I could split my backup file to reduce the…

Solved. The problem was a corrupted database in pCloud client. Recreated it and all these problems disappeared. I'm sorry I doubted of FFS! You know, when the problem is on the int…

Thanks All! That is what I was looking for!

You technically could. The risk is that two things could happen: 1) If using mirror, those versioned files wouldn't exist on the source, thus get deleted 2) If using two-way, those…

The last time I wrote BAT files was maybe 1993. Guess I'm gonna have to do a little studying.

RTS does not have sources or targets, it just has folders to watch for changes. If a change occurs in one of the locations, it runs the command at the bottom. [URL] Create a sync c…

[Quote] Perfect, thanks for your response. I tried that and it worked well.

Nevermind. I have to run synchronize even if no file has to be synchronized to have the sign go away. Sorry for the noise.

[Quote] Sync and then deduplicate the destination

I don't think you'll get banned for putting too much strain on Google Drive. Instead you'll get "quota exceeded" errors: [Quote] [URL]

> ... I want instantaneous sync Apparently not, because you want to have the opportunity to change the filename first. The only option is then to create the file in a folder that i…

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I did end up solving the issue by running FFS as administrator. I'm not sure why this is necessary though, when the permissions are set correctly. Pr…

I have just, somehow, sorted out the issue. I don't know how, but for now its working. Thank you all for your help.

This should work natively in FFS if it's a valid path

They release every 3-4 on average, and we are 5 weeks out since 12.1 Probably buttoning up some bigfixes

Same issue and also same use case 😀 Thanks for the workaround 👍

Hello, Thanks @Zenji for making such a reliable program. I recently made a donation edition purchase. I had a 2 questions: 1. Does Free File Sync work well with Git Files? (.git fo…

Ok, I got it figured out :)

Your explanation makes sense. I clicked the link you included and saw the example. That will work perfectly for my situation and will save a TON of time. Thanks, very much!

Thanks for your response. The Z drive is a mapped drive over our local lan from a second pc that my wife uses, which is also running Win10 with associated recycle bin. All I want t…
