Is there a way to create a job that only syncs data from a certain date?
For example sync only files newer than 10. january 2023.
I know about the option "timespan" that you can select with the mouse. However, the values you select there are not saved in the job file.
Any ideas?

The timespan option saves if you save the config after changing it

I start a compare, then set it like here:

Then i save the job, but the previously selected date is not saved with it.

Gotcha, anything done in the compare window is going to be temporary. In the filter settings, there is a 'timespan' option also. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyway to set a hard cutoff date, only a number of days

This is exactly the problem.
It would be very helpful if there is a possibility.
Background: I have my complete data from my home-nas 1:1 on the notebook with me. Because i am often longer away from home, i want to sync everything from the date of departure to a folder which is then synced to the cloud. So everything is always safe.
