FreeFileSync Forum

Hi Most of my files are in gdocs or gsheet format. I wanted to make a backup of the files but when I do so the backed up file only contains something like HTML code. Is there a way…

Yes, the .run file is a x86_64 binary, but it also contains zipped contents that unzip or 7zip (7za) should be able to extract. [Code] The main zip file that used to be the main do…

Thank you for this explanation -> Thread closed Resolution: It is not a bug, it is a feature. ;) BR Joe

They would have deleted if they ended up in the recycle bin.

Many thanks!

If you are running a bi-directional sync, or a Mirror sync with "Detect Moved Files" enabled, xCSxXenon's remark is likely spot-on. The ffs-db files work based on file-IDs. And alm…

You would have to sync all of the sources folders to one target folder and use the "update" method to sync to avoid pairs from deleting previously synced data. Is this going to be …

No. You would have to have OneDrive sync to that external hard drive by default. Otherwise, you have to sync the external with the local copy of OneDrive

Sweet! My pleasure!

[Quote] Yes, and I didn't see it 😅

As long as you saved the configurations as .ffs_gui or .ffs_batch files, the settings won't be changed. Sometimes, you may need to "open" them in FFS again. If you didn't save them…

Awesome!

^ Exactly right It is because the file name and info is there locally, but since that "Files On-Demand" is on, the file itself isn't downloaded locally yet.

Sounds like you want continuous syncing. Read the manual, look into RTS

It's been like that for years. Never mind, thanks for your very speedy response, I'll look for another way of doing things.

[Quote] Hi Zenju - thanks for the reply! Sounds good. I will try it after the release... I found a workaround this weekend: I created a "sync job" on another PC (Windows) with Goog…

Dear Zenju, sorry for bothering you again with a very old issue of FFS. I was still using FFS 7.9 on my old MacBookPro with OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) to avoid the alias problem. But no…

x-terminal-emulator just starts qterminal. On a standard Lubuntu system, qterminal and x-terminal-emulator are apparently the only terminals found in /usr/bin.

Found the problem and it's Windows related: In Task Scheduler: - Create the Task as instructed in the video. - On the General Tab - the Author line (Domain/Username) must match > S…

Leave exclude empty, that is excluding everything, causing the include filter to be meaningless. It doesn't interpret that as exclude everything except PDFs, it simply sees it as e…

Thanx for a reply. The only way I could get into this problem is to use "versioning" . Using that, I set it up to "replace" so that files deleted during the sync would be moved to …

You may be able to find a batch script online that can parse the file to extract the filepaths and pipe them into a copy command or congregate them into their own .txt and use a fo…

D: is a partition on a separate SSD from my boot partitions. I already use Everything, it didn't help. But I noticed that the inaccessible space was roughly the same size as my One…

Interesting. The original directory must have had some permissions blocking it

You can run FFS from command line. Just put that command in the batch script [URL]

The FFS folder gets added to the exclusions list in Windows Security in my experience

Running as a scheduled task is the only way it will work. RTS won't start counting its idle time until the directory is left alone

You can remove old activations from your unique donation link

It will not work that way

What are the locations?

For reference: time_t(-11644444800) = "1601-01-01 8:00:00 GMT" = FILETIME(288000000000)

That fixed the issue. Thanks

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I was wrong. I have followed your recommendation. It is solved. Regards, JC

Hi PIerry, thanks again for your feedback. I agree that your second bullet is the easiest solution. Unfortunately I do not think it will work for me, because: imagine having 3 FFS …

I have now backed up the settings in the roaming profile in case it happends again (I found a files that was not corrupted on a older backup). Strange that both files where affecte…

I've done some tests and as you said it does not duplicate the replication. Again many thanks for your prompt help.

Thanks Plerry for your response. Now I have to work out the best way of making files accessible!

Of course!

I see the further issue, not supported [URL] [URL] [URL]

What is "E:\"?

You can check why FFS proposes to sync said files. See e.g. [URL]. Or perhaps this is a [URL].

@ xCSxXenon: Thank you for the information. I had no crash or hang so Process Explorer didn't help me. But the idea was good. I have a second notebook with a clean system espaciall…

Is this in now?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The second error is relatively straight-forward to solve, as the option can be left disabled. The first error, is the solution in the link…
