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…

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…

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

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

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?

Any amount

OK

After the syncronisation, I tried another comparison of the two file systems without any error message now.

Hello Zentu, I have a number of backup disks, preferring to spread my backup risk to multiple smaller disks rather than all to one big disk. Then ... I have separate tasks for, say…

I'd suggest you do a few tests with different user names. Most likely the space is the problem. AFAIK many FTP servers don't allow this. Perhaps the clients you've tested with inte…

In the RTS GUI you drag/drop your FFS sync configuration (a *.ffs_batch file you created) or specify your locations to be monitored and the command line invoking FFS to run the spe…

Any ideas?
