Generally FFS is always compiled for the newest Ubuntu/Debian system available. Versions for older systems can be found here: [URL]

I've just been looking more at the sync I'm doing and it looks like the sync has broken, so the flatline might just be the files not copying.. The copy looked to still be processin…

For the record: FreeFilesync copies and displays all files, no matter the extension, with a single exception: "sync.ffs_db", which is a FFS-internal database file, which shouldn't …

When I try remove the file

Maybe the reason are wrong credentials to the qnap which are stored in the Windows Credential Manager on the W2012R2?

[Quote] Well, that would explain it! I incorrectly assumed it was idle time for RTS itself, so it would sync every 10 minutes. You're so fast in replying, thank you!

Follow up — our server does not have SFTP functions.

if you right click on the top of the two file lists you can add date+time on both sides. you might want to start off with two-way rather than mirror and do things by hand until you…

I want to back up our hard drive to a network drive(NAS). To get access to our network NAS I need a username and password. free file sync says it can not. Win7 backup ask a passwor…

[Quote] Thank you very much, i shall try it certainly. FFS is an excellent tool, so the good news that it supports cloud services.

Can you send me a process monitor trace when this happens? [URL]

[Quote] Issue is fixed, just re-download FFS 7.2.

I can sync to the networked drove using the same credentials using Windows 7 and ffs7.1. I'm not sure if I need to change something or if it just won't work in Linux

Perfect Zenju! Thanks for your great work.

FFS propagates all errors it receives from the operating system, so copying a corrupt file will fail if the OS reports an error and will succeed if it reports success.

I think i've found the solution. I'm using a sandbox program to install FreeFileSync in portable mode with the /NOCANDY command. But if i use VirtualBox and then copy the Folder it…

I can confirm the new v7.2 works fine on my system. Thank yo for fixing this so quickly!

Thanks Zenju :) 1) Yes a local configuration issue is what I found blurb on but have no idea what. I have noticed Window 7 (x64) and my system do not like one of my USB ScanDisk Fl…

@Wm: Please, what was your intention for posting?

When trying to install on Ubuntu vivid, I got the following errors The following packages have unmet dependencies: freefilesync: Depends: libboost-system1.54.0 but it is not going …

I managed to deal with quotes using below script. How do I merge the new folder pair with the existing pairs instead of replacing them (as I understand from the help file)? How can…

The error still appears approx. every one out of three times. It's a virtual machine on Hyper-V, if that would make a difference. Screenshot attached. Let me know if I can be of as…

Have you searched these forums? There are plenty of posts on this topic.

Anyone? For now I have disabled lock file creation but would like to know how to resolve it properly.

If moved files/folders are not detected, then this is due to one of the following - Move-detection is not supported by all file systems - Detection not available for first sync

Solved the problem. In Task Manager, the Start In field must be filled in with the path to where the FFS_BATCH file is located!

[Quote] Maybe you have some kind of quota set? FFS checks lpFreeBytesAvailable from GetDiskFreeSpaceEx, which reports the free space that is available for the current user in the c…

[Quote] checked it in the morning, everything seems to be in order. sorry again for disturbing you with a stupid mistake like this. g

When using "two-way" variant, FreeFileSync will propagate all changes, so if you overwrite a newer file on one side with an older version and then start synchronization, FFS will p…

Ah, I thought you were Win only, my apols. If I can presume again you can use datenumber or similar mod 3 to get a cycle of 3 backups, etc. they'd be numbered 0, 1, 2 and you'd hav…

Great ! ;)

Just to help tidy things re Win XP, I am using a (not main) 10+ year old Toshiba P30 running WinXPSP3. I have just tested and FFS7.1 is fine. Steven & Zenju, there are some other t…

Link has been fixed, thanks!

[Quote] Hi Zenju I can tell you too, that there are no more wake timers when running RealTimeSync. So thank you very much for this quick fix.

Missing support for file modification times seems to be a limitation on a lot of MTP devices: [URL] It seems to mitigate these issues we need a compromise like a "compare by file s…

Shucks :( It still might be worth investigating the "File Not Found" errors when attempting to download files from the sf "archive" directory..? Many thanks for the prompt reply!

Can you try the new beta and see if this works? [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_7.1_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]
