Versioning

Posts: 2 · eXMarty 23 Oct 2016, 06:21

Can be set file versioning, so that the old version of the file always write to disk, which originally was?

For example:
Synchronizing drive L (in the left panel) and N (in the right panel)
I have a set way sync
On both drives are file Text.doc
On drive L is a newer version - I want to be an older version on the N write to drive N
Similarly, if it is newer version on drive N to rewrite the version on drive L and earlier versions wtrite to drive L

thanks for advice

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<FreeFileSync XmlFormat="5" XmlType="GUI">

            <SizeMin Unit="None">0</SizeMin>

            <SizeMax Unit="None">0</SizeMax>

        </GlobalFilter>

        <FolderPairs>

            <Pair>

                <Left>L:\</Left>

                <Right>N:\</Right>

            </Pair>

        </FolderPairs>

</FreeFileSync>

The issue is that when you synchronize it makes copy of earlier version to L:\.
So you need next synchronization for this file to be copied to N:\.
If you can do this synchronization twice in a row, it should do exacly what you want.
