Hello Zenju,

"WarnSignificantDifference ..."

Is possible to set these parameter directly in the gui?

Some users have two backup-harddisks and they change it not every day.
When users make their backup with with ffs they get the warning:
Die folgenden Ordner unterscheiden sich erheblich ...
and they get not an syccessfully result.

The Significant Difference message is just a warning.
It flags the user he/she might have selected an incorrect left-right base folder.
The user can then check/verify the sync settings, choose to ignore the warning and go ahead anyway.
So it should not prevent you from getting successful syncs.

Warnung: Mit Warnungen abgeschlossen
and i get an mail with backup not successfully ...

Maybe the thresholds used to determine what constitutes a "significant different" should be configurable in GlobalSettings.xml. Currently they are "more than 50% of items changed" and "at least 10".

@volker01
The email is just irritating. The backup was sucessful, although it says differently.
It's just a warning which you can ignore if you are sure you selected everything as you wanted.

I don't know about all the different warnings out there, but if the backup wasn't successful, you will get an error, not just a warning.
