Choose which backups to verify copied files from

[SonicRings]

Currently I have the following setting:

<VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="true"/>


Is there a way that we can choose which of our backups can verify files? For my use case, I want all my backups to verify files except for one specific backup, where I want no verification to be done as it would take over 24 hours otherwise and I'm okay with not verifying the files for this one particular backup.

Thank you,

(Odd how this "text" copies from my pdf viewer, an old Foxit. And it does seem there are actual "spacings", be they $20$ or otherwise in there?)

5. Use a di fferent GlobalSet t ings.xml fi le
B y default, F r eeF ileSync uses a single G lobal S ettings. xml file containing options that apply to all
synchr onization tasks; for examples see E xpert Setti ngs. I f you want F r eeF ileSync to use a differ ent
settings file instead, just add the path via command line:

FreeFileSync "D:\Different GlobalSettings.xml"


So create a shortcut that runs that individual job, using a different Globalsettings.xml that does not have the 'VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled' enabled. Maybe call it, DoNotVerifyCopiedFiles.xml.

Interesting, thank you for this! Can you explain in more detail what steps I should take to do this?

So the idea here is that I don't run the backup through the GUI, but instead run it through that xml. Hopefully this would work with a scheduled batch job as well.
