Hello
I have tried setting up FFS with daily revisions:
Screenshot 2025-01-10 181831.png (28.17 KiB) Viewed 1360 times
I would like for all revisions within a day to overwrite the files and for the next day revisions to stay within that day's folder.
And this is the important point that I cannot get to work: I only want to keep 7 days of revisions.
It's not really working - if I enable the Days checkbox I get subfolders with timestamps witin each day. What am I doing wrong?
By choosing the "Time stamp [Folder] naming convention, your previous versions get stored in a folder which name is the timestamp. Probably you want to use the "Time stamp [File]" naming convention.
All previous versions of a given file then get stored in one and the same folder, and have a time-stamp added to the file-name.
Then simply select the "Last x days" and enter 7 days.
Thank you for your reply.
I do not want to rename my files since this makes restoring more cumbersome.
I used to use allwayssync and here it is possible to have all files keep their orginal name, be placed in a revisions folder mirroring the original location but keeping all files updated per day in the same revision day but not at least also to specify keeping only revisions for x days - if that makes any sense.
This is not possible in FFS?
Setting "Last x days" to 7 is going to keep at least 7 days of file versions in the folder you specify. Obviously, this isn't going to work because a new folder is created every day since you used %date%. Leave it as "Time stamp [Folder]" and remove the '%date%' at the end, leaving "...\Revisions"
This should create the subfolders whose names are the dates and contain the files versioned on said date.
