FreeFileSync Forum

oh sorry, it was my mistake. I had copied the job files to another path and edited with xml editor directly. So the scheduled tasks used other task files than are visible in the gu…

Your notion of how RealTimeSync works seems flawed. RTS does e.g. not "run every 30 to 20 seconds". The [URL] explains how RTS works and what it does. Particularly the last paragra…

Hi Zenju, OK, thank you. I found out what I've done wrong when testing this option. It seems to work as expected. Kind Regeards TheExpert

[Quote] Sounds good. I've implemented this for 10.6 with a number of other cool Linux features such as a unified package containing both 32 and 64 bit using a launcher, just like F…

Hello, thank you for your help. I run the 10.6 beta version and it is running fine with the same synchro configuration (gui) as the one that crash with version 10.5. Best regards. …

Hi, I am looking for a way to move EQUAL files and overwrite the same files on the right side of the panel. I have two folders of pictures...some are the same, some are the same na…

I followed: [URL] with the objective of running this at a specific time of the day. I created a ffs_batch file from FFS from 2 jobs backing up 2 folders. I highlighted the two jobs…

***Resolved*** It looks like the first v10.5 installation was corrupt. I uninstalled v10.5 and reinstalled same version. This time the .ffs_batch files work without issue.

[Quote] The folder contains "deleted" and "overwritten" files from last sync, so you decide that. [Quote] Definitively :)

[Quote]Problem could have to do with Windows - as it has a folder "Videos" by default, which might be handled "special". If the problem only happens with this name, i'd change sour…

Yes, the idea is that the betas should be replaced once a new release is out.

@Harm, It should not be a problem to analyze the used space, there are freeware programs like treesize. This sounds more like wrong sync settings from you. FreeFileSync can handle …

Hey, I'm trying to copy items from the left side to right side but I want it so if the item is gone/deleted from the right side then it does not try and copy it again. I tried usin…

Dear all, I use the great app FileSync to do mirror synchronisation of my documents on my MacBook Pro to my NAS Synology. The think I can't understand is why each time I launch a s…

While building version 10.5 from source in Manjaro Linux (Arch Linux derivative), I get the following error: [Code] Because the file is not critical to build or operate FreeFileSyn…

I'm running FFS 9.8 on MX Linux 17.1 x64. This is the latest version of MX, which is a debian derivative. I'm running into routine large hangs during mirror jobs. Usually I mirror …

In other words: After running your sync press the "=" button ("Show files that are equal") behind "Select view:" mid-below the two (left and right) comparison results windows.

[Quote] Could you give me some guidance on how to do this? Thanks

[Quote] Zenju should have added that you will only see "[Donation Edition]" in the application title bar if, in the Configuration pane, the "<Last Session>" item is highlighted/sel…

thx.

Unfortunately the current codegen is broken for 64-bit Vista/Server 2008 due to automatically generating AVX2 instructions that are understood by later OSs, but lead to crashes/han…

PIerry, Great answer, one that I would never have thought of or about. I found a useful reference: [URL] It would appear that, for the 1TB drives (HDD NTFS vs SSD exFAT), the clust…

Hi, Sorry for huge delay. VPN is OK. I work with openVPN and it works properly. In windows version of FFS there is button "Access Online Storage" where user can set SFTP access. I …

Yup. Just figured it out, too. That's exactly what I did.

Hi Zenju, I have a similar issue and found this post some time ago, but did not have the time to go into much detail thus far. I have an speed-issue between Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) an…

There's a chance that the label on one of the settings is incomplete or misleading but it's best to clarify what the setting actually does to make sure than a synch doesn't result …

Are there any performance or other concerns using FreeFileSync on a shingled (SMR) drive? Other than the usual SMR write issues that is. The internal drive model is Seagate Barracu…

Seems to be solved. A well hidden language setting was the solution - thanks for hint (Explorer)

Correction: I wrote: "I didn't fully understand the instructions and came to the conclusion that we are instructed to enter a single one hour shift for the FFS immediately after a …

Transfer completed successfully =) This solved my problem, thanks a lot !

FYI, My 47,000 files were in fact properly backed up using FFS so I was able to recover! :-)

I would like to make an update. I figured out the reason of this problem. It is lack of standards between operating systems regarding file name encoding. This folder was synced bet…

The Beta version posted in the forum post you provided is working for me. I've added additional comments to that post.

Great news! Thanks for the update @Zenju.

Thanks for your comment, Markusoft ... I think my initial confusion stemmed from not appreciating (understanding) the difference between a "backup" and "file synching". What you wr…

I noticed that when there are problems, FFS changes the name of the logfile. I see some logfiles containing [Waarschuwing] (dutch for Warning) or [Fout] (dutch for Error). So I cou…

Generally you should be good, as long as you keep the number of "many portable devices" rather down, since the Donation Edition is expected to be used by a single user: [URL]

Just thought I would report back.. I tried a different software, and I'm having the same issue (It transferred about 1GB in 36 hours). So I would say it's definitely a network issu…
