I already saw a suggestion of running a command before syncing.
but I'd like to emphasize that this in fact would be very useful to protect the copied files.
scenario:
1. run a command to map a drive with user&pass (or a batch with these credentials)
2. make a copy
3. disconnect (log out of) the target drive
this way the copy remains inaccessible to a ransomware running on the source computer. of course there's always a chance that the files would be encrypted during syncing, but this is much less likely.
I know this can be bypassed by running FFS from a batch file that would connect the drive first, but it is already a tricky way to do it, especially while using a task scheduler. therefore a built-in feature would be very appreciated.
Run command BEFORE as ransomware protection

If you already use Task Scheduler, this shouldn't be any easier from within the FFS GUI than within a batch file.I know this can be bypassed by running FFS from a batch file that would connect the drive first, but it is already a tricky way to do it, especially while using a task scheduler. therefore a built-in feature would be very appreciated. frytex, 25 Jul 2024, 15:43
