Hi, I have an external HDD connected to my router to which a make regularly backups using FFS, recently I switched to a different ISP and now FFS want to make a full resync of all my files (the amount is huge and it will take days), I even tried connecting the HDD directly and copying the files directly, FFS keeps insisting on doing an almost full resync.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have only used FFS for 1 day, already loving it :)

But, if you read the settings ("comparison settings"-"Ignore Time Shift")

Please read:

Try to put like 2 or 3 in the setting and do the scan again.

I suspect this will fix the problem, but this is not a solution, it is a workaround.
Will try it and get back.

Hi, the daylight saving time trick did it, thanks. I've yet to verify if the external drive is a FAT system... thanks.
