A madness... To close this issue, FFS works normally on Lubuntu 22.04. Maybe this will be useful to another user who uses this distro. [Attachment]

OK, thanks for investigating! I guess I will stay with version 11.17 for now, this is the last version where everything worked fine!

Hi Zenju, I tried the running the 11.28 BETA version and not I get the following error instead: Cannot move file "E:\ArchiMED4\DBImages\10039774\DB2~c6ef.ffs_tmp" to "E:\ArchiMED4\…

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have come to a similar conclusion. How to fix it though - its a bit of a pain. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the MAC OS could come up with a …

Okay, let's round progress percentage numbers down in the next FreeFileSync release.

You could run a compare, then use the boxes at the bottom to toggle what the results will show you. You should see a box with "=" in it, which is hidden by default because rarely d…

Hello, When the backup is completed I receive this error when FreeFileSync has to send notification mail, what can I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to change installation directory on Ubuntu?

[Quote] No, you shouldn't get a warning for a mirror sync. As of FreeFileSync 11.24 there should be no more false-positives anymore. Warning is only shown if there are "multiple ac…

Any filters set up?

It is very strange. As a browser I use Firefox, but I also tried to open the page with Edge. The result does not change: always the old text. At this point I tried with the smartph…

9/11 are images and most of them (if not all) small files, maybe @zenju would want to take a look at this, also note that I'm using "mirror" to sync/upload these files, but of cour…

I launched FFS as admin yes.

For some files I am getting a warning that FFS 11.27 can’t write the modification time of a file to a file share because the access is denied. Of course, that isn’t case, it just c…

You can use copy and paste to insert the error message here. No need to type manually. These are two error messages. I'm assuming they are from different sync runds. No locking pro…

[Quote] worked! thx

[Quote] Hi SJH It is working! Thanks a lot!

Interesting: after the last major update for Windows 11 (Version 22H2), the sounds started working again. My test program worked also. Yea!!!

That is the whole point of the program. How it goes about it, specifically, all depends on the settings you choose to set. So read the Help. Then test, ahead of time, & verify that…

There hasn't been a change. There are a few special cases where sparse copying is not used, though. If you send me a PML file ([URL]) and the name of a sparse file I can have a loo…

Any help or suggestions ?

Great! Thanks, that's given me great relief. I was just now looking for a utility to recover a temporary copy of the data I had previously stored on another drive (I'd deleted that…

I'm not sure about how this Forum works. I posted a question a few days ago and have had no response, so it may be slipping down the Inbox to obscurity. I wanted to clarify my orig…

Thanks for the info! If it's caused by a network card driver, then I could try v11.27 one more time but this time with second network card that I have in my system (i225-V). The on…
