FreeFileSync Forum

Hello Zenju, Thanks for the tip. That solved the problem, I was using FreeFileSync between Linux OS before and did not know about this problem. Thanks a lot!

I still don't understand how to eliminate this issue. I would like t o continue backing up one computer on the other but this message is now preventing me from doing so. Is there a…

There should be only a single "sync.ffs_db" file used per folder pair when you have set up the "two way" synchronization variant. The "sync.ffs_lock" files are deleted automaticall…

The ".ffs_tmp" files are naturally created on the target side of a sync job. Other than that, FreeFileSync always writes the last sync operations into "LastSyncs.log" ([URL]). If y…

Ok, understand. How to sync with FTP/SFTP under WinXP ? Could you show me section <FolderPairs> in *.ffs_gui for sync with (S)FTP ?

Perry - Many thanks I'll try out your suggestions.

[Attachment] Never mind I fixed that. The culprit is in Avira Antivirus and it's real time protection. Somehow it marked FreeFileSync as malware named "PUA/FusionCore.Gen (Cloud)" …

If your laptop is always the source of your data, where you will create and (after syncing to your backup) delete, and you might incidentally restore items from your backup to your…

If the rep.sparseimage.bz2-file was already in your right location before you added the exclude rule \backup\Apple\*.bz2 to your exclude filter, this makes sense. Because you now e…

Dear colleagues, when I try to define a new backup path, my network shares are not displayed. FFS doesnt't reconize the shares. When I type in the backup path manually it works, bu…

Should that not read "mtp:\\Wileyfox Swift\Internal storage"?

Put an asterisk in front, like this: *\.svn\

I have the synology DS216J and i want to keep a backupof all the data on an external hard drive connected to my pc. Which is the right way to do it? Choosing two way or mirror? I a…

First test -> positiv, I can connect directly. Sync is running ...

Why would you have error codes but no corresponding error description?

What do you mean with "does not recognize"?

I have several personal computers and servers with freefilesync installed without any problems. The problem is on a windows 10 machine. In the morning active manually batch synchro…

Boom! That worked.

Maybe try the "Versioning" feature of FFS: [URL] It might not be the exact solution that you are looking for but experiment with it for a while and see if fits your needs. Before y…

Hello I just load and install FreeFileSync 9 0 Ubuntu 17 04 64-bit on Kubuntu 17.04. When I click freefilesync I have the Choose an Application --- KIO Client dialog box? which app…

[Quote] This try is made with the beta version...I dont know if the regular 9.0 is right. some news I disconnected the pendrive from the router and tried to insert it into the pc, …

The parsing error should be fixed in the new beta. Let me know if it works for you: [URL]

I finally found this post where someone had the same problem I am having. I use FreeFileSync for all my backups and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I keep running into the pro…

It's working for me now, thanks again

Hello guys, I´ve just installed Free file sync on my SBS 2011...everything work fine untill I want to sync single huge files - aprox 500MB+... Any ideas what is going on? If I want…

I believe I fixed the problem. I was using the direct I/O option (faster access speed) instead of SCSI disk option (works like real physical disk).

Sounds like a simple "mirror" sync.

I have been using FFS 8.10 on Ubuntu 16.04 for a few weeks now. Everything has been fine, until today. When I try to sync my local hard drive (the same) with a USB stick (the same)…

Hello, trying to build FreeFileSync 9.0 on Ubuntu 17.04 there is this compilation error: [Code] The libzenxml package gets installed. It has version 2.4. However I also do not find…

I've had to do things similar to this for various reasons. You'll need to use something like robocopy. Test it out on a temp directory first. [URL] Basically: ROBOCOPY <source> <ta…

THANK YOU!! :) Your dedication and level of service is simply unbelievable!

What happens when you click on it? It's an RSS feed.

Hey Folks, So I need to do a massive delete and I'm naturally a bit concerned that I'll screw something up in the process. I'm hoping that one of you can point me to the proper con…

resolved this went into the homegroup settings and updated the permissions to view and edit for the folder im trying to sync

Here are my notes from my successful build, as far as I can tell the program runs correctly but please do not try it with any data you can't afford to lose until you are confident …

No, no problem, I just hid my ftp address.

Installed just fine; I just ran "compare", looked OK. Shortcut on Taskbar remained valid, now showing vs. 9. Almost too easy! Thank you, Zenju, for your response - just thought you…

Hello everyone. I need help. I've done a sync two folders in mirror mode. After two hours I realized that I did wrong and I changed the version of some files which should not be ch…

Oh man, I am an idiot, the empty rows obviously are showing files on the opposite side that aren't in the first one. It makes perfect sense. Sorry! :)

Legend. Thanks. I'll test with the new version as soon as it's released.

Well, that didn't help, but I'm starting to suspect the problem may actually be my router. Last night I determined that it actually does work for a little while if I disconnect the…

Failure to set modification times will be treated as a warning instead of an error in the next FFS 9.0.

Thank you very much for your reply, Zenju. That makes a lot of sense, I'll check into that. Have a great weekend. Thanks!

Updated to 8.10 and as i want to make the dump it worked for the first time! Will watch it in future and come back here if it makes troubles again .... thanks

ok, got it. THis is working on my laptop, but not my desktop. The only big difference was a mount bind. It seems that if you mount bind the original folder you are trying to sync t…

Allright, I understand. Thank you for help.

Thank you!
