I am going to wipe and perform a clean install of Windows 11 Pro. I would like to be able to export my FFS settings to a file(s) and once the install is complete, install FFS and import my configuration into the new install of FFS. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

The only things you need to save for restoring are:
• your FFS sync configurations (*.ffs_gui and *.ffs_batch files)
• your GlobalSettings.xml file(s) (see here)
and if you have any of those
• your RTS folder monitor configurations (*.ffs_real files)

And if you have donated, the installer file for the FFS donation version, the download link for the FFS donation version and/or the E-mail you received after donating.

I need to save all my ffs_gui files which are all in the same repertory. I tried to save them with freefilesync but when saving them freefilesync executes all ffs_gui files. It would be a shame not to be able to save these files with FreefileSync
