Hy.
I have a Truecrypt volume file that I want to synchronize.
The problem is that Truecrypt Volume file don't change its propriety, so FreeFileSync don't recognize that the volume was modified.
Is possible to force FreeFileSync to copy that specific file in one direction?
Thanks.

Open Truecrypt preferences and uncheck "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers".

I just joined with the same question, thanks. My sync is mainly files I do want the program to see if they have changed, normal processing. Only some need to be forced. How will this option affect the rest of the update?

Hi, is there another way to save individual files that have not been modified? I use the encryption software Gocryptfs, which needs a small file gocryptfs.diriv in each folder to decrypt filenames. If the encrypted file changes, FFS can save it, but not this diriv file, because it normally does not change

I forgot to mention that the problem concerns the old backups with versioning.
