FreeFileSync Forum

I went to the server room for testing, the software with the scheduled task program has been running normally, but after the test, it is not that the remote and local operation cau…

Thank you!

So you don't want a syncing utility to sync deletions, even though you're telling it to by using two-way...

[Quote] I'll have to read that with more time and try to setup it again from the scratch. Regarding the recycle bin, only the Elements has that configuration; My Book is set to del…

OK, got it. Thank you.

wow! Thank you for the quick fix, I just tried the new version, and it works!

[Quote] I'm late to check your reply. Sorry. I tested the recently updated version and confirmed that it was connected normally. thank you!

Duly noted and thank you for the clarification. That said, it feels somewhat incoherent to give an option commercial users crave (silent install) only in a personal version of your…

You'll need a command-line solution most likely

Warning is fixed in FFS 11.24! It will now show examples which file paths exactly are the issue: [URL]

Fixed in FFS 11.24! No more false-positive warnings: [URL]

Fixed in FFS 11.24! [URL] Or maybe you have an error in you config. In any case, FFS 11.24 will tell you what's the case.

[Quote] Does that mean the donation will not be expired anymore and I can install the donation edition on multiply PCs?

Plerry: Thank you but that kind of defeats the purpose of why I've subscribed to FFS. Using Macrium I daily update back up my internal D drive (which consists of data I use regular…

Hi I confess I am not a computer whizz unfortunately and I'm getting on a bit so please bear with me. I was attempting to back up my Google Drive documents to a hard drive. It's so…

Mechanical drives suffer horribly from a large number of small files. You are getting exactly the speeds that are expected

[Quote] Those files have been modified again since then, so unfortunately that I can't share the original time anymore. I haven't touched the FileTimeTolerance setting, or any othe…

Nice! Thank you.

Hi guys I just started using FreeFileSync and I am amazed by its simplicity and utility! I have already learned how to configure syncing filters and how to run this task by RealTim…

Thanks, for the resend. :D Post can be deleted

Run a compare and post a screenshot of the results

If your scheduled task is running under different user credentials than the user that is logged-in, you will never see the progress. If the task is run under the same user credent…

Yes, it is one of "those" questions ... [URL] [URL] [URL] etc.

Would this be a correct workaround? [Code]

It is actually showing that the files don't exist at all on the right side. Your paths are likely incorrect

It seems Zenju's post in [URL] gives the answer to my above question (and please correct me if I am wrong): FFS will suggest to change the specified absolute path in a relative pat…

"Full path to relative path" detection and conversion has been added for the next FFS release: [URL]

Yes. Sync two-way.

What command is your task running? Sounds like you are running a ffs_real in the task, which results in what you are describing.

Quick Update: Its still unclear if its releated to a genuine FreefileSync-Bug, User error on my side or some Win10-related issue. The file seems not to be there, not even as "resid…

Hi, i'm trying to automate my backups by automatic synchronization when a USB device is inserted, i can make it work, but i don't understand why the batch file has to be placed on …

For anyone else having this problem, You can try using FTP over a local network (Your home wifi router, USB tethering) Possible example. For security, use this guide only on home n…

Thank you. I have done that now. When I did a backup a few minutes ago (without your suggestion), everything copied except some TurboCAD documents in 'Pictures', so I had to copy t…

Looks like "Unix executable file"s have no extension, therefore can't be excluded easily

You can't do this. Unless, you are only saving folder(s) locally, then you could use filters to exclude/include what you don't/do want. If you are syncing files from various locati…

I would also appreciate an extraction of the data from the "GlobalSettings.xml". My problem in this context is the following: I have a folder "D:\Tools" on machine1, where FreeFile…

You've created a ffs_batch file, but apparently saved it with a ffs_real extension. This is weird. FFS doesn't care much about extension, but perhaps it should, because this doesn'…

Apparently, you run the *.ffs_batch file from the FFS GUI. You should run it from a command prompt (see [URL]), or as a scheduled task (see [URL])

OK thanks. This is the conclusion I was slowly coming to by myself.

[Quote] In which case, they will never compare by Content. [Quote] I'd think that due to different EOL characters. Block size should be irrelevant to a file's size. (Block size mat…

When the database is corrupted, FreeFileSync will automatically create a new one and overwrite. Just make sure the sync directions are set correctly the before the first sync after…

Hi, any pointers to this error? This is the message I am getting Cannot write permissions of "/media/rbrown/Backup Disk 2TB/BigDiskZFS Backup/Image Masters - BigDiskZFS - 2020 on/2…

Sounds like "files-on-demand" where the file isn't actually download from DropBox to the local storage yet.

RealTimeSync on windows can not monitor changes in Mac dir mounted by SMB. So can not start sync task automatically. However, if install RealTimeSync on Mac, it rescan all files ea…
