Hi,
I have setup RealTimeSync to copy a folder tree from a local drive to a USB drive. real time sync is running as a system task. It works well for a day or so, but stops working after a while. Is there any way to generate a log to analyse whatgoes wrong?
The folders contain development projects, most of the changes on the drive are caused by compiling and svn database updates.
Task manager reports the rts and ffs processes are running, but mirroring will stop taking place after a while.
Is there anything I can do to help resolve this issue?
RealTimeSync stops working on win7-64 with USB drive

Did you read the instructions in the help file chapter "RealtimeSync", especially with regards to popup dialogs that can stop progress?

Yes, I have the ffs_batch setup for silent operation. It runs fine for a couple of days, then stays stuck. I have to stop the ffs processes and delete the lock files to resume mirroring.

I have a similar issue, slightly different. FreeFileSync 6.11 is hosted on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine, syncing files between that machine and between two other computers (Win 7 Pro 32-bit; Linux) on the network and mostly between USB drives.
When manually running a sync session (I don't use batch or schedule). sometimes all will go well, and sometimes FFS will halt. But when FFS does halt, the network service on the host PC seems to crash irrecoverably. Windows reports that the internet is not available, but won't let me disconnect from the local network to try a dis- and re-connect. At that point Windows describes the network as "unknown", instead of calling it the normal "home network". The router is still running properly, with internet access, because the other computers can still talk to each other and access the web. The only way I have been able to get going again is with a reboot of the FFS host PC.
The issue mostly arises when I run a sync between the Linux machine and the 32-bit Win7 machine. This problem arose for the first time only a few weeks ago, but seems to be happening more frequently.
Any help will be most welcome!

No responses here, so I've started a new thread for this question at viewtopic.php?t=318&p=1201#p1201
