FreeFileSync Forum

I have installed SP1 and FFS works now. Thanks for your help.

I've been using this excellent software for a long time to backup a PC and a USB drive without any problems. I just bought my wife a MacBook Air and ran into this exact problem whe…

[Quote] > I assume the 'funny' creation and access date/time are the result of the v6.7 and earlier metadata modifications. Yes. With v6.8 the old DST hack is gone (until further).…

I use FreeFileSync and RealTimeSync to sync folders on 3 computers. However, when one computer is off RealTimeSync does not sync the other two because it is waiting for the third c…

OK thanks.... for drive letter I've see the "Variable Drive Letters". For button SWAP SIDES any tips?

[Quote] I made a few tests: the "App Nap" feature is disabled while FFS is syncing, so it must be something else that is slowing the disk when the monitor is turned off. Is it poss…

If nothing else helps you can disable the Shadow copy functionality in FFS's global settings.

[Quote] It is definitely the memory stick. I copied now my backup files from the ADATA stick to a Seagate Backup Plus Drive together with some other files. The FFS file search took…

I copied my backup USB stick (16 Gb) with FFS to a bigger USB stick (32 Gb) which took me around 3 hours. Now I'm trying to compare and syncronize the new stick with the files of m…

First, thank you very much for FFS :) I have mirrored a directory. After that pressing "compare (F5)" again doesn't compare the files again. Instead FFS shows immediately "all file…

You can delete (...) in the sections: <FolderHistoryLeft MaxSize="15"> ... </FolderHistoryLeft> <FolderHistoryRight> ... </FolderHistoryRight> in the file %AppData%\FreeFileSync\Gl…

Hi, I would like to sync a lot (100+) of network computers: \\compname1\c$\source \\compname2\c$\source \\compname3\c$\source ...etc... Half of them are not online all the time as …

Sorry, please delete, I was missing an * in the configuration. Solved replacing "\Data01\" with "\Data01\*" in "Include:". Thanks.

Dear sir, I Created a batch to run automatically to take backup of my server to another server's shared folder, It executes while i use GUI, But after log off, when the batch file …

I've renamed the button to "Show hidden dialogs again" and added a tooltip "Show all your hidden dialogs and warning messages again". Let me know if this still needs some improveme…

First of all, sorry about the big font. I have no idea where that came from...LOL. I will try to remember, but when I get the error I close the windows and the scan doesn't proceed…

Probably this is a unusual behavior, but would it be possible to add it as a feature? For example by making it defeatable through the option panel... I tink some other users could …

Awesome. Thanks for looking into it!

I"m syncing two folders one is shared and the other is local, both computers are running Windows 2008 Server, I've created a batch file(ffs_batch) using FreeFileSync but it doesn't…

Nice. It works. Thanks.

[Quote] Yes, sorry, 6.6 and 6.7 Thanks - will send them now (ones that are left anyway, I've deleted lots).

The version you upgraded from is probably very old.

[Quote] If the file path isn't to long you could type it in manually and see if it works. Hope this helps.

Hi. Is there any way I can see logs for RealTimeSync? If so how? Thanks.

[Quote] You need wxWidgets 3.0 to compile FreeFileSync.

For a start, the help file should give some overview on how to setup RTS. If not, maybe the text can be improved.

I think so. Here's the new description, let me know if there's something to improve: [URL]

Would it be possible to add the functionality to show the date/time when each configuration was last synced?

So I'm sure that's the case. By removing the destination folder it seems to have created the folder and sync'd the contents. Thanks

> Just the fact that FFS was making a copy in the trash of every file that had to be overwritten (nearly all in this case)? Probably. In your test you only copied files, while FFS …

Filter specs are relative to the Left and Right location of your sync pair. A filter can never include an absolute path. Try adding *\test\* in your exclude filter. See the help fi…

Got it working by creating new configuration from scratch...

See [URL]

[Quote] Correct. The lastsyncs.log is just one more safety mechanism in case you accidentally sync and want to determine what has happened after the fact. Since it is always active…

What is ohloh?

Thanks for clarifying Zenju.

Thanks for clarifying Zenju.

Thanks for the clarification Zenju. I really like the ability to detect moved files and deal with them efficiently.

I plan on doing something similar, but will create two configurations for each of the backups that I run independently. I prefer not doing the backups at the same time if possible,…

Hi When I sync two drives, all the jpeg files are listed as existing one side only, but when I check they are on both sides. It only affects Jpeg extensions, it works fine with all…

When copying a file manually in Windows, the created date/time stamp is set to the current date/time. However, when FFS copies a file, the created date/time stamp is set to the ori…

Thanks Zenju, Will wait for the next DST to come around and report back. However, judging from your points 1, 2, 3 - it appears to me that the exact same thing is likely to happen …

If the Buffalo NAS uses some sort of web-page based authentication, you are likely out of luck, unless you enter into some serious scripting. If the Buffalo uses the standard SMB/C…

Thanks for great tool. I'm using it for syncing photos and short videos from camera via TeamViewer VPN connection (Windows 7, 64 bit). It works fine when connection speed is more t…

Did you get this solved - I had the exact same problem but it turned out it was a conflict with Panda Cloud Anti-virus software - as soon as I switched antivirus program the proble…

Just downloaded FreeFileSync and using it for the first time. I setup two drive and folders to compare and sync. However, it appears that it compares only the files in the selected…
