I just ran a quick test with version 10.20 beta Linux and it does not have the problems with the Places menu, and it did not generate the error message about the Trash directory. T…

I just found a small error in my script and the problem was solved. Thank you so much for your help, bgstack15!

I could have written: While FreeFileSync is not running, locate the applicable GlobalSettings.XML file, open it with a text-editor, verify that directly behind VerifyCopiedFiles it…

Thank you, it worked :-) Previously I use Arch User Repository version which was created 2 day after last update and it didn't work properly. I deleted AUR version and downloaded f…

Never gunna give you up, never gunna let you down!!

NM, just saw the 10 installer news...

"Run minimized" works! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hello, With the version 10.20 beta it works like 10.17 .OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 64-Bit. Greetings from Germany Heiko

I tried version 10.20 and it worked. I will still use 10.17 until 10.20 will be released. Thank you :-)

Good day, We're attempting to synchronize files between 2 Windows Server 2019 Domain Controllers running on VMWare vSphere (ESXi) v6.7. The two servers are in different locations, …

It is created so two different syncs don't edit data at the same time. You can delete them, be sure that there are no active syncs going

Change the include filter to only include the root directory?

Technically, files are never transferred, but only copied. You will need a batch script that runs after completion that deletes contents in the source directory. Check your sync se…

This issue has gotten even worse for me since v10.18 was released. Now even when I disable "Fail-safe file copy" it doesn't stop FFS from hanging at the end of Sync. Does anyone kn…

I'm not sure what is going on exactly. In my setup, the folders from the source C: drive are mirrored correctly on the NAS backup location. I have replace versioning enabled. I not…

Makes sense. Thx.

I just did a quick test of the situation you describe and I had no difficulty with FFS remembering the newly added exclusions -- so, in theory you shouldn't on principle be having …

No clue what you mean. You can [URL]. This will launch FFS when RTS has detected changes in folder(s) it is monitoring (after an Idle-time within no further changes in the monitore…

It reads like you are using the two-way sync variant. This variant uses a database containing the folder structure and file content of the left and right base locations per the end…

You are right process context was the problem - it was my fault. Everything works fine now after applying settings in user profile permanently.

All files that get deleted during the syncs I run go to the recycle bin without fail. It is MOST LIKELY that you are doing something wrong, or the recycle bin is messed up barring …

This seems a bit remarkable, but if that's what you really want: You can define two separate syncs, select the Custom sync variant and define a sync for deleted files only using Ve…

Thanks, I see now. There are options to run a command on completion, on success, or on error. Also, if one runs freefilesync from a command line, it returns a different exit code a…

There are many locations that the autorun could be located unfortunately. You may need to check registry keys or other locations

Nice that you got it fixed. I'll file that answer away in the brain. Mechanical HDD? Maybe the file is being used when you are backing up and restarting gives FFS higher priority

Can you provide some screenshots of your settings, source/destination, and compare window?

I would check your hard drive health with Gsmart and run a chkdsk if it is healthy.

You should have the server set up in a RAID config with parity for protection before attempting to mirror all of it. Personal opinion of course, but that would be a far safer and e…

OK. Thanks for helping me better understand how FreeFileSync works in regard to syncing with Google Drive.

RTS can be run as a serive; see [URL]. FFS can not be run as a service. It also does not make sense to run FFS as a service. FFS can be run with background priority. See [URL].
