Looks like the NAS is able to create files, but cannot delete them. I'd expect to see appropriate error messages during sync. Maybe restarting the NAS helps, unless its a permissio…

I've noticed that file comparison has slowed considerably since at least version 10.1 (possibly 10.0) on my Arch-based linux system. I see the problem on ssd(ext4)-network(ext4) an…

Yup, sounds like [URL]

Finally I found the cause for the performance issues: The target harddisk was slowly dying. Thanks to SMART I saw an increasing amount of sector reallocations. After replacing my b…

The filter phrase shown in the warning message is the correct one.

Are you able to reproduce the above error? This looks to me like a temporary problem when the "FFS_Versioned_Documents" was first created.

According to this error message, shadow copies are not involved.

[Quote] What FFS version were you upgrading from? I'd like to check that there isn't any issue with the configuration migration code.

Recent Ubuntu releases don't show the notification area anymore where the RTS icon is located. One solution is to make the notification area visible again (instructions can be foun…

Even if I run realtimesync as a service I can put a batch file or ffsreal file on the usb hard drive? Also, on one of them examples I’ll be unable to keep the mirror copy of the fi…

hi, the solution is: [Code]

Thanks Zenju. You got it right. I was using the SYSTEM account for my batch job. I just changed the job to copy GlobalSettings.xml from my user account to the systemprofile. When I…

And I was already wondering whether it's time to remove this note: [URL]

Good Morning I am trying to use FFS with my IIS FTP Server. It works find for physical directories, however, I cannot figure how to FFS to recognize Virtual Directory since they ar…

I think you are expecting too much from detect moved and renamed files. You will need to delete for those items that the detection does not see, or you will have duplicates. You ca…

Hi, I am back on this issue. Any new idea's on this? Best regards, Marc

You can [URL].

Sorry for not answering. I had to reset that phone, did a backup using a tool that ignored the error (named GoodSync) and after resetting the phone the buggy items are gone. So I d…

Ah ha! I see that in playing with the interface that one can close the Configuration box altogether to prevent this issue. Are there any issues with clicking in the Overview box to…

It's crazy to see all the fuss about the English wikipedia page and blocked users. I'm happy I didn't get dragged into this and that my changes (second modification) have finally b…

Now i have a situation, where it is useful! that the filter doesn't have an effect to the Destination directory: On a computer (with NT6.0) i have to split ffs into more than on ta…

Whoops! Never mind, this is user error. I ran the scan on a laptop and was searching for the log file on a desktop. (I am running backups of a NAS to a USB connected to NAS drive, …

Thanks,

The link is actually good as it lists the prerequisites for move detection, one of which is probably not fulfilled in your case. Note that technically all the files will be moved r…

You need to set the number of parallel file operations pers device (see comparison settings), to be used for comparison (including binary-comparison) and sync.

I don't know ReadyNAS, but if it is similar to Synology, the mapping of \\Jupiter\Primary\home\Bob\DataFiles to \\Jupiter\Bob\DataFiles is probably linked to being connected to you…

FreeFileSync has a capability of detecting if files have been moved or renamed. See [URL].
