Thanks for the suggestions. It's fixed now. The problem was the spaces (blanks) in the file name argument passed to FFS by the W10 task scheduler. The entire file name was properly…

it's two different pairs, the first is set to include * on the parent folder and exlude these folders, and the other to include only the specific english language files ;)

Different file sizes and contents ... does not matter. The most used size is around 60MB. Lots of those. Yes that is (nearly) the difference. The new update to 12.1 did not bring b…

Thank you very much for your help

Works fine. Thx for your quick support!

Just updated my Ubuntu to 12.1 and it seems to be working great. Thanks for the update. Will be switching to donation edition.

Run as Administrator Do you have custom fonts you are trying to back up? If not, just exclude the folder. Backing up anything in the Windows directory seems odd to me in the first …

On why and how the ffs database files are used, see e.g. [URL] and (although described in another context) [URL].

The web hoster apparently had some temporary resource issues. Should be working now.

Is there a way to restrict "all the files" to just the base directory level other than the exclude \*\ that I used in my original post? I thought that \*: might do that, as the man…

[Quote] Correction: Fixed for 12.2. While the changes are implemented in 12.1, they will only come into effect during the 12.2 auto-update.

Wouldn't, File | Save as a Batch Job, do what you're wanting?

Thanks for your replies. I've just purchased the Donation Edition of FreeFileSync and updated to the current version 12.1. I now find that "GlobalSettings.xml" has "C:\" instead of…

Quick update - I was trying again in terms SFTP again, and these were the error messages I was getting The recycle bin is not available for "sftp://xxxx@my IP here/mnt/NAS music mo…

The answer is yes and no. I can try to work on other PC and tell you the answer. Yes, it happened on only a PC. This is the only PC using portable version and program run behind a …

After I posted this, I discovered the Forfiles command. Looks like that might be the solution. Have Windows Task Scheduler kick off a BAT file with the deletion from Forfiles, then…

I encountered this error when I synchronized folders between my desktop and smartphone on Android 13. The problem disappeared when I unchecked "Fail-safe file copy" in the settings…

Add each folder you want to drop into a legacy folder Example: [Code] [Code] [Code] [Code] You'd have to break it down for every folder like that. [Quote]

I have the same problem. And also other third party applications met the same error when action on files managed by OneDrive. I tried to contact their application support of third …

After searching in other topics, I realized that RTS will not be able to do this, they use the built-in task manager from Windows, it is in the description of the program on the we…

I ran RealTimeSync as Administrator and everything was fixed. Thank you, Dimitris Christakopoulos.

I'm confident, Your are right, the file table is corrupted. The question is: *How* did this happen. That are exclusively exactly these .ffs_db files. Never another one. And this pr…

And knowing that /\, I would recommend leaving the Windows directories as default for you anyway. it's just a folder name

I have exactly the same question. Is there any way to show all of the source folders for a selected job in the tree overview even after the first run? I already now that if you cli…

How would it cause duplicates on the server if they are both copying from the server

Re-save your .ffs_batch configuration and make sure you checkmark the 'Run minimized" box

That is interesting... Such a weird and random issue, sounds like an issue where restarting the computer would be the solution. If that didn't work, it's hard to say what to look a…

Fixed! FreeFileSync will now show a warning as it should: [URL]

Hi, I get this error when I start mirroring this folder. I checked the folder content including hidden files, there is no such file in the source directory. It may be an old file t…

Let's suppose I am doing a Left to Right Mirror, and the Left side FileA is dated 1/2/2023 and is 10 bytes, Right side FileA is dated 1/1/2023 and is also 10 bytes. FileA and FileB…

@Zenju Oh that's right ! Thanks a lot :)

I've been having this error for months. I saw the other post about it but it was about Realtime sync. I only use freefilesync and the .tmp file that the photo shows is non existing…

Rather then excluding, would an Include filter work? So include (& offhand I don't know how to set up filters, but)... */PDF/.* B/* C/*

I have no idea if there was a change, as I had never tried anything like what you described before. Though on my end, by creating the empty directory on the right did allow the del…

all good, thanks

I synced a ehdd with a pc. i take the ehdd and mirror to a mac and sync between those fine but now when i make changes on pc, and try to sync to the mac with the ehdd in between it…

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Click 'open' in the top left and select the saved configs

So simple! Thanks ! :)

Hi, is it possible to use a path relative to the home directory when using sftp. i. e. backup/ or ~/backup/? As I found out the software always puts a / in front of any path provid…

A windows scandisk gave no errors on this new SSD. I renamed the old folder and created a new folder with the old name. To this I moved all the data and it works again. It must hav…

Perfect! Thanks a bunch.

Wonder if something similar to [URL] may have been going on?

Thanks, Zenju. I'm looking forward to when it's fixed. Am I correct in assuming that the jobs did run correctly, since the logs look good?
