Many thanks!

That's it - the backup drive moved from /mnt/ to /media/. Solved! Thanks.

Adding info for future readers: The number of devices can't be lower than 3.

[Quote] Reparse point is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT which is a regular NTFS attribute, so it would be observable in the debugger, but it's not. Whatever "L" is, it's not an NTFS …

Is it possible at all to set file modification times for this GVFS volume? e.g. via "touch" or "cp --preserve=timestamps"? If the answer is "yes", then maybe there exists a workaro…

In the default configuration when you select 2 folders to compare it creates a file titled "sync.ffs_lock" to avoid another user from attempting to update the folder(s) when the sy…

OH, one other thing I had to change back. I had set it to run daily in Task Scheduler. It didn't like that and said 'administrator refused request' I had to change it back to 'Run …

[Quote] Fixed. in FFS 11.16 it will be possible to select a broken config file, and to remove it.

See if [URL] release changes anything?

What was it that you did that worked?

Here is the solution: 1.- Select the file (<filename>.ffs_tmp). 2.- Right click and select PROPERTIES. 3.- On PROPERTIES window click on SECURITY tap. 4.- Group or user...: EVERYON…

FFS connected to my Google Drive first time I tried. I did not select the "Directory on server" at that time. I tried to do that today but FFS would just hang while "Loading" (fold…

but FFS is software for sync and this function is needed, on other software developers dont need to change filename because that software is planed to run only on linux. Butt since…

Seems that the 21H1 Update solved the problem through a Mandantory Reboot last night. Just checked and it went right to the folder/drive I was last working from and it did not jump…

Preserving existing file permissions is something FFS currently doesn't handle: [URL]

Hi Zenju, No there was no error. However, I reinitiate all tasks and don't know why, all is working fine by now. I should have done something wrong for sure but don't know where. T…

It's insane that this is how it has to be done. I'd expected a simple option to enable or disable the notification sound despite the auto-close being set. However, for those that s…

Nice! Glad you got it sorted

Repeatable? Was this after a firmware update or some other change?

Wnat a numpty i am, completely missed the large green + button that allows extra sync pairs to be added!!! My problems are over will do all i need.

Those links contain literal step-by-step instructions...

Use the Mirror sync variant, not the Update sync variant (in the Sync Settings , F8).

You know I gotta say . . . I think changing that auto-close did it. It's been running every 30 mins for a few hours and there's no piling up of instances in Task Manager. I believe…

Hi, macOS Monterey 12.0.1 FreeFileSync 11.14 [donation] overall, things usually work great. In this situation I am scanning a 4TB hard drive (external) that was used as a timemachi…

I changed <ProgressDialog Minimized="false" AutoClose="true"/>

That is working exactly as it should. You could have a directory \config\df\07\khjfkwekfjbn\dfwf\*.dfd and it would still be included. You may need to add exclusions

What is E:\?

Releasing an FFS installation license is not instantaneous. It takes up to 48 hours to release a license.

[Quote] That seems quite likely. The old drive had lots of radio software on it - much of that old software seems a little cobbled together, or at least it did when I dabbled with …

Yes and I re-loacted it but its same, FFS can not find my folder...

that fix the problem just adding without * at end

It appears that Warning about Operator/Administrator I mentioned above is not bogus. Something is stopping it from running auto. Manual, fine, auto, no?

The compare worked. I did as you suggested: File|new rather than just changing at the browse button. Since the FFS worked when first installed and then stopped with out any changes…

> But again, this only happens when mirror function is used and not update. That makes perfect sense. A Mirror sync will remove any content from the destination that is not present…

Well access to the RTS executable has nothing to do with access to a path

Perfect, thankyou xCSxXenon

Was does this result mean in task scheduler? It seems to make the necessary changes in the destination folder if there are changes to the source folder? But what is this result? Is…

Thanks for the info on exFAT, that saves me time. I'd seen the timezone offset option discussed in this thread, but didn't like it because I thought I risked missing changes made w…

Don't backup the WindowsApps folders, they can't be used after a restore anyway. That folder is extremely restricted from Microsoft.

Looks like my recovery is not over. I'm slowly making progress, but users might want to know that once you get behind the 8 ball, things are difficult. My donation expires in April…

Hi, I just signed up to make this post here: [URL] Hope this is helpful to those who have followed this topic!

FFS formats/cleans up paths as input by the user. In case there was something to clean up it shows the formatted path in the header. In your case there is a stray slash:[Attachment…
