Hi,

I try realtimesync to sync my server with a NAs in realtime.

I created my batch file, and make a sync..

When I use realtime sync, when i make a change on a folder ( add a files , or remove) , realltimesync detect it, but it rescanning throught FFS all the files.

why it like that ?

Thank you for you support.

Plerry

The only thing RealTimeSync (RTS) does (upon detection of one or more files having been changed), is to launch the specified application, in this case a FreeFileSync (FFS) sync job.
The FFS sync job will simply scan all folders/files in the left-right base location pair(s) tree(s), as defined for that FFS-job.

If your FFS sync definition involves scanning a problematically big amount of files, you might consider to split your FFS sync job in multiple jobs, each covering a coherent, smaller amount of files/folders, and each launched by its own corresponding RTS task, monitoring only the folder(s) relevant for the specific FFS job it will launch.
