Thanks again. I appreciate your help.

Solved it; turns out the new portable HDD I was using to Sync to was plugged into the USB port immediately below the USB dongle for my wireless mouse. I moved the wireless dongle t…

The very last version on the site (but also previous versions) freezes when starting a mirror gui synch on fedora 32. It hangs either at 0% or at values between 0 and 1%. Any hint?

You are correct. A distribution of a single install is going to give that problem. The portable solution would work, but then you need to donate ~$660 USD to get an allowance of 20…

How would I make a batch file to backup a folder to a zipped folder

[Quote] Just some random forum spammer => deleted.

If the specification of your left and/or right FFS base-location uses drive-letters, and if those drive-letters have changed due to the upgrade, you obviously need to modify the FF…

I've found an alternative way of scheduling batch jobs in macOS, using the launchd service management framework. It involves the following 2 steps (see example below): 1. Create a …

Still, as stated before, that may not be enough. See the link in my earlier reaction today. But possibly for MacOS things may be different ... But the 'Run a command: On completion…

This error is not coming from FreeFileSync. Maybe the Task Scheduler configuration is incorrect.

Fixed, thanks for your report!

What does that even mean... You should get rid of those AVs

I've seen various ffs_tmp errors at times in 2 different scenarios: 1) (as Plerry just said) The security ACLs or rights are not permissive enough in the destination folder or spec…

Okay so I grabbed the backup data and decided I needed to know before the weekend and ran the backup. And the great news is, it only did the changes files! So it appears the softwa…

And can it reappear when the task is done ?

Hi Plerry, thanks for the information. Very useful.

Hi Is there a way to have the portable version as a single executable file? I have restrictions to run .exe files in my computer (from a flash drive, for example), but running them…

Oh, I was looking for the install file but it is already installed! Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, thanks for replying me. I usually save older versions but my contribution [donation] is pretty recent, so i have not any previous donation version saved. Zenju, It would b…

Possibly it is the power supply of your pc that causes these incidents. Bye bye.

When run with the task scheduler the program doesn't show that it was run.

Although, I don't think FFS makes tmp files in the source, unless you are in two-way

The FreeFileSync binary is the binary file (that is, file with binary [machine] code that the computer can run). For the official release of FreeFileSync, you can use either the Fr…

Perhaps but then I'd have to do that every day. And then the remaining pair wouldn't get backed up so you would have to do something similar for those which mean doing this sort of…

Any pictures by chance? The FFS can show/hide different categorizations, I wonder if there is a something there

[Quote] Thanks a lot!! In the folder, it is!

[Quote] Thanks a lot. Took a little getting used to set up but works great! Exactly what I needed!

Awesome! Thank you!

Wohoo, that's what I was looking for. Now that you gave me the hint, I felt a bit dump. FFS clearly indicates this option in the settings. Another case of read the instructions fir…
