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…

[Quote] I would use "It should be fixed on Android 8"... Basically it will be completely rewritten the lower layer for managing external memory, but if the connection protocol will…

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?

Just upgraded to 9.1 and I can not do anything with it. Several different modes of failure. It has started to sync but then says it can no longer read from the drive. Now as soon a…

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

Sounds like a job for the [URL].

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?

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…

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…
