Hi, I created a batch file for real time sync. It is supposed to sync my home directory (Ubuntu) to an external HDD. When I open the batch with FreeFileSync it works perfectly. How…

9.1 dump sent.

Unless this is your first sync, where this behavior is expected, there must have been an issue reading the database file, in which case FreeFileSync has shown a warning message.

Now it is working great. I don't understand what happened in first place. Great app, Thanks alot.

Hi, When RealTimeSync is monitoring and detects changes, is it supposed to run through a full comparison of the folder pairs before syncing the changes? The way I read the Manual, …

I'm new to FreeFileSync, I've been using my own robocopy scripts for backups but wanted something a little better. Two questions about running a batch file via task scheduler: If I…

I also have exactly the same problem but on the Mac OSX version of FFS. My NAS is a QNAP. However, I also run Windows PCs on my network, and they work fine.

Thanks to Gianni1962. That worked.

[Quote] Yes, enough!

Hello guys, is it possible set freefilesync to copy files from a folder on a remote ftp (not sftp) folder, and then move the local file to another local folder? It seems to work wi…

The "Copy locked files" option is part of the FreeFileSync global options. RealTimeSync will launch FreeFileSync so the setting should be respected.

As you can see [URL], the period you are entitled to updates of the FFS donation version depends on the amount you donated.

Hi Lukas, I hope you had managed to recover your lost files. If not, I recommend you Recuva from Piriform, is free and effective. DON'T use the pc where you have lost your files be…

[Quote] OK, GOT IT. I didn't know about the ability to configure "local" versioning, it was grayed out when I tried. A little check box later and I had what I wanted. Thanks again.

Ok thank you, and sorry for having missed the page in the FAQ ! ;)

Hi. I have a domain user "backup" that is a memer of groups "Domain Users" and "Backup operators". Domain user "backup" is a member of LOCAL "Administrators" group on server where …

Hello. Seems developer ignoring that problem: [URL] [URL]

[Quote] ...or: have you run FFS elevated? By default the elevated process doesn't share mapped drive from the non-elevated account. There is a registry entry to change to enable th…

Good morning. As I wrote in the subject deleted files on a HD1 are restored on HD1 instead of being deleted on the HD2. In the attached file an example with a file that was deleted…

You should ask Microsoft that question. And you know how responsive they generally are ... :-( , particularly on topics that they do not deem very important.

Seriously no one is facing the same issue? How can I report a bug to the developer?

Re-reading your initial posting, your intended use might have been hiding in there ... ;-) However, your intended use does not seem to be part of FFS's present features. To be hone…

I'm having the same problem. To be more specific, I have FreeFileSync installed on server "X" and I am trying to backup files from specific folder on server "X" to a shared folder …

Thank you. That worked like a charm.

I'm not the developer, but ... It seems the functionality you are looking for is deletion handling/versioning. You will find that under Synchronization Settings (F8). I don't know …

It appears the problem may have been hardware related. I swapped out one of the 2.5" hot swap bays I had been using with a new one that has two 2.5" hot swap bays, opened two insta…

Every time I terminate FFS on my Mac I get an error (notification) saying Volume "long-series-of-hex-digits" not responding. What causes this and how can I prevent it from happenin…

Try running FFS as Administrator.

Hello. I have installed FFS 9.0 in two WinXP machines, but there is no SFTP button (on your screens button is available), tell me why please. Thanks.

On one of the computers where I use FreeFileSync, when I synchronize the Desktop and Documents folders with their copies located in the D:\Backup\ folder, an access error occurs wh…

I could use forced copy of some folders on a local basis. Why run two programs, seems a simple option?

(S)FTP doesn't work under WinXP. Why ? Can it be fixed ? May be - some workaround ? Thanks in advance

Problem solved! Thank you so much for your help. Fantastic service!

Hi there, Is it possible not to sync the same files twice? I have FreeFileSync configured as shown on the screenshot. New files from the source folder will be synced to the target …

Yes, currently there is no special version for Linux.

Your English is quite good actually. The forum should provide useful information for all FreeFileSync users, so please keep it in English.

After going through this thread, my question is that: How to tell (udate the DB?) FFS to mark both sides as equal without copying/updating the files? My situation is that, I have c…

Is there a way to move instead of copy data after a compare: [Image]

The message seems pretty clear (and correct). See [URL]. So, why this posting?

Are you able to provide me with a test access to this folder?
