Corrupted copies: What about a binary copy and verification ?

[dihelson]

Hello, friends,

I´m new to the forum, but I love this software FreeFileSync.
I wish to contribute with some suggestions to make it even better.

I often use FreeFilesync to syncronize between two folders on different machines. The problem is that sometimes, these files are being copied currupted. I know this probably has to do with some odd problem on one of the machines, but I never could figure out what´s happening. I just tested memory, CPU, everything possible. The phenomenon is somewhat rare, say, every 500 files, 2 are corrupted, and I have to use another problem to scan all folders and compare all files on a binary mode in order to keep them really perfect. A corrupt copy doesn´t worth anything, so I wish FreeFileSync could have an option to when copying files, verify if the copied file is an exact binary copy of the source, and then go to the next one. I don´t mind if this takes longer. Our data is more precious than time.

Thanks.

FreeFileSync has the option to VerifyCopiedFiles after copy which might add value in some cases. But, make sure to read the "Note:" and link-part of the relevant section.
