Feature Request for Large Backups

[mgilbert]

After changing files in, or adding files to a large mirror type backup, performing a "file content" comparison of the entire backup isn't practical, as that can take hours. I'd like the option to do a "file content" comparison of only any files changed in, or added to a backup. Having that as an setting where it occurs automatically after running a backup would be really great.

You want to compare content for just the changes, which requires a full content comparison to know what changed, which means this isn't possible.

That is exactly what FFS already can do.
Simply set the VerifyCopiedFiles flag to True.

Thank you, Plerry. I didn't know about that GlobalSettings file.

That setting changes it for FFS globally though, so every sync will be affected, just be aware

I understand. Under the circumstances, that's exactly what I want. It would be nice, though, if that was one of the options when setting up a backup, so it could be set up individually, per backup.
