FreeFileSync Forum

Old question, but I have the same one. The files I'm trying to sync are database files (R>L, to an external HDD) and their modified date only seems to change once in a while. I now…

Recently I detected a problem with my backup synchronization. I have a database which is updated frequently. My present file date is February 20 2018. Now I made a mistake with the…

Or is this just the difference between syncing over wifi and an ethernet connection?

Hello, on Windows XP, there is no button with cloud icon for remote access.

I ran a sync using FreeFileSyncPortable (6.2) and the 'Update' setting and it deleted a bunch of my files. Looks like I found the files on the originating computer's 'recycle bin' …

Hello Zenju, thanks for responding. I think you're right, I just re-installed version 9.7 and it gave me the same error. Another thing I noticed: yesterday night, FreeFileSync comp…

Good day On my laptop top I do have part of a server directory with originally hundred of files. While I'm travelling (off line) I may work on some files; which I want to sync with…

Technically, this is data corruption on the server: The ’ character is returned in ANSI encoding, while the server announced to return UTF8, which is what FFS then expects.

I have just installed FFS and set up my sync requirements and done the 1st sync. Does FFS now run in the background (if I close it) comparing & updating every x seconds or must I l…

I found a way to reverse it and will from now on use "Versionierung"

FreeFileSync is now DPI-aware! Let me know if there are any issues: [URL]

Sync over Boxcryptor Drive is very slow. Just 0.5 to 1 file per second. The Multiple Connections option of FFS is not possible since i'm syncing to a "local" drive.

1) You can spread your single task over multiple RealTimeSync instances, each monitoring a smaller number of folders, and each launching a FFS sync specific to the folders being mo…

Thanks Pierry for such a fast reply. I'll test this mechanism tomorrow. Thxs again, Best regards Paul

Hi Mattie, I have the same problem. What was your mistake on interpreting the instruction?

Just a short reply: It's working perfect now !!! Thanks a lot !

any ideas please?

Just to correct myself. What I wrote about restoring and restore is irrelevant and does not apply to FFS as the way it does backups is not incremental backups on successive branche…

Sorry, can't help you here! Your description (for me) neither clarifies your situation nor what you aim to achieve.

Hi, I have a strange issue: The file size of the identical file on my local drive is different from the file size on my network drive directly after sync - see attachment. This lea…

[Quote] Thanks, Plerry. This worked, and my sync job is working perfectly. I changed things a bit because I'm on a Mac, though, but your method is accurate and fast.

I would check if disabling the Dgagent service might fix this issue.

[Quote] You might just as well set up [URL] to start sync repeatedly.

[Quote] We have tries the Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit download and it does not contain anything that can be installed. (at least that I can find) How about a nice deb file? Thanks

I'm a new user. I first backed up my internal Data drive to two different external back up drives. I then ran a comparison run between the two drives to double check that they were…

Hi, I understand you can run RealTimeSync with an idle time if you start it manually. Is it possible to add an idle time to RealTimeSync when is running as a service? Thanks!

When I use goodsync and flashxp to access the FTP server, It can display normally!

I'm thinking you need network attached storage (NAS) with the three of you having access to it.

Thanks.

I solved this problem, and for the benefit of other new Mac users like me, here's what I did: I added my MacBook Air to the login items of my iMac. The only caution here is that I …

I'm also having a similar problem on Windows 10. I've been using FreeFileSync for some years now, with no problems, for the simple task of keeping the PC backed up to a NAS. But in…

Exactly the same request here. Is it necessary that all directories in ALL folder pairs are available? I mean in both, in FreeFileSync as well as in RealTimeSync not accessible fol…

An ffs_batch is not a script file, so wscript won't understand it.

Note: I'm asking around on this one. I really just want FreeFileSync 9.7 to run in Ubuntu 14.04. I don't care how I get it done. [URL]

Right you are! I didn't drill down that deep, ASSUMING Windows would do what you told it to. It annoys me that it chose to ignore certain files when I set up permissions at the top…

I found a bug. When you have already made a synchronisation or a mirror and, If you change a file and if you run again the same action the program don't detect any change. So you h…

The command I entered is to delete a .txt file I have in the folder. I am using the * for a wildcard.
