How to generate folders structures when Versioning option enabled?

[in-a-jeep]

Hello all,

Is there a way to have this FreeFileSync generate folders structures when Versioning option enabled?

I have FreeFileSync monitoring 560 GB of data, multiple directories and such. When I select the Versioning option, FreeFileSync will create a copy of the original or previous file in the set revisions directory.

When the task is completed, there could be over 2 GB of files in a single directory. This could be a task locating the file and where it was synced from.

Would it be nice to have a way to have FreeFileSync copy the file in question along with its directory structure . .

C:\foldername\foldername\file.txt

to

c:\Revisions\foldername\foldername\file.text

Your "nice to have" way is exactly the way FFS works in my case.
That also seems to be the default when selecting versioning.
I would not even know if/how it could be set differently.

Thanks for the reply.

This request has been implanted and the folders were created with no errors.

Please close tread. I love this App!

I seem to have this problem also.

Say I'm mirroring D:\Users\My Name\My Documents\ to X:\Users\My Name\My Documents\ and I have Versioning set to X:\Revisions with Timestamp.

I have a Folder\File.txt on X:\ in My Documents but not on D:\.

Folder\File.txt gets moved to X:\Revisions\Folder\File.txt 2016-02-05 123456.txt.

I expect it to go to X:\Revisions\Users\My Name\My Documents\Folder\File.txt 2016-02-05 123456.txt

I could have Folder\File.txt in several places so how would I know which locations they came from?
FFS version 7.8

Managed to answer my own question. For anyone else struggling with this, the answer is to specify the full path of where you want the revisions to go to. In my example that would be:-

X:\Revisions\Users\My Name\My Documents

Also note, I had several source/target folders set up to mirror in the same batch. In the Synchronization Settings you can specify a separate revisions folder for each folder pair by ticking the check box "Use Local Settings" for each pair.

This also answers my last point since Folder\File.txt from any folder pair will go to its respective revisions path. It would only be a problem if there were a single revisions path.

Lastly, I confirm that Folder\Subfolder\File.txt does get moved to
X:\Revisions\Users\My Name\My Documents\Folder\Subfolder\File.txt as I hoped.
