What you can do, on Windows and easily, is create a mirror in disk management, quick format. Sync to the single volume it creates, then you can "break" the mirror. The data will be…

Make sure the scheduled task is run under user credentials of a user that has access to said folders. You define the user in the Task Scheduler in the General tab of the Properties…

I've tried again. And now it seems to work. Thanks a lot for all the help!

*.ost-files are normally locked while Outlook is running/open. Try closing Outlook and then sync again. Or try using [URL].

(I'll just note that the LastWriteTime on the "failed" version is also current time.)

I've created a batch file to copy a bunch of folders from and old server to a new one and it works great when running manually but when I scheduled it as a task and run it, the tas…

I tried your suggestion, but it didn't produce a crash dump.

Hi Plerry, Thank you so much! Files in both folders were identical and required no action. The "=" made these equal files visible. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your input, a lot to digest, I also have one other suggestion. I'll look at the merits of both then decide. Thanks again

If there's an error sending the email, it will be in the log file.

Holy crap, that's actually genius...Trying to imagine your implementation was difficult, but I actually have a similar setup with 30-day data retention. I missed that the photo boo…

That is correct, but on my systems I am only seeing a 7MB memory usage for each instance, and CPU is essentially non-existent

[Quote] I don't have "tools > Show configuration" on my FFS (current version ). I didn't want to use "Tools > Reset Layout" in case it did somethig I didn't want. However, it solve…

Essentially in the same way: Assuming you have a left base location [LEFT] and a right base location [RIGHT] and you want to exclude the entire folder A in the base location(s), bu…

Which, with no context, means nothing... Glad, you got it mostly figured out

The sync configurations are saved locally and aren't removed upon uninstallation. Unless you store them in the program files folder, they might get deleted, but don't do that, that…

This happened to me after the Windows 10 update (1909 64bit). The solution was to reinstall the driver, installation "clean", according to the installer.

[Quote] Works. Thanks. [Code] [Code]

thanks - that answers it. I'm syncing within device as I like to keep my original photos on the phone, although I back up to the cloud. I use my phone for work and home and sometim…

To delete them from the destination, assuming it is a mapped network drive, you can run "del /s Thumbs.db" and it should delete every one of them.

Likely, the problem is related to the recent changeover from daylight saving time to standard time. See [URL].

I am using version 11.2. This is an odd system, so it is probably not supported with Free File Sync.

The NAS setting you show only illustrates that also non-admin NAS users (with access to the Hoofdmap-share) are able to see the Recycle-bin of Hoofdmap. The link I provided earlier…

You don't access files when choosing your left/right locations. You have to choose the folders that you want to sync. For you, you will have to choose the folder where your .ost is…

Well, reinstalling Windows that often is not normal... You could always keep a portable copy on a USB drive as they don't count as installs when running from removable media. You m…

I have manually installed the program (donation version) on Linux Mint 20. Just realized it is also in the Software Manager. I installed the program from Software Manager. How do I…

Hostname definitely still works, you just need to know it. Windows network is a little hot-or-miss, but still works sometimes. The NAS management will tell you the hostname

Can you install an older version and try again? This way we can see if it is an FFS update that caused it. [URL]

Is Z: a local drive, or a mapped drive on another system?

[Quote] Good idea! Changed for the next version.

You should be able to go to the link from the email 'receipt' and download it again fine, unless the donation period has expired.

Thanks very much for your advice, which obviously works Roy

[Quote] This can't be true. Do you have more details?

See [URL] for exit codes. The log-file should provide details on warnings and errors.

Thanks, That worked.

[Quote] I disabled Intel RST. Here is the output of smartctl which shows that SMART is disabled. I wonder if i should enable it. The drive is genuine, though [Code]

Although this error may occur while running FreeFileSync (FFS), it is not FFS related. See [URL].

Great suggestion to use a mirror initially, I will do that. Regarding why to 2-way sync with the backup server, the backup is also the failover server (using DFS) - if the primary …

Great! Thank you all!

I am a use of your app in Malaysia. Previously I donated to get donation edition. But now when I try to donate Paypal says "Donations to this recipient aren't supported in this cou…

[Quote] Thanks for the analysis. It really clarified how to approach the issue, and sincere apologies for not replying earlier.

If you start FFS via the Terminal, maybe this will return more useful information: [Code]

This should be fixed in the next FFS release (in about a week). I assume you have a WLAN network adapter that is sometimes offline. And when it is, it reports a random MAC address,…

You could run RevoUninstaller to completely wipe the free version from existence and try to install the donation version again

No? Change it to only include what is included in the real sync. If the goal is to delete the source files from the sync, then set the include/exclude filters the same for both the…

(Not seeing any such problem with a file named, "DSC_1399êdit.tif", on Windows [XP] & FFS 10.11, sync'd to a Synology NAS.) If you were to test with an older version of FFS, does t…
