Hello,
I aim to save a whole folder but folder size is far from the truth with the new FFS version :

- FFS 9.2 file size is 28.4 Go, witch is correct

- FFS 10.23 file size is 2.47 Go !
Newer.png
Newer.png (28.01 KiB) Viewed 584 times
Same settings. Why ?
New1.png
New1.png (40 KiB) Viewed 584 times
new2.png
new2.png (30.44 KiB) Viewed 584 times

Thanks for helping.
Regards.

If you place your cursor over the icon you boxed in red, it shows the tool-tip "Total bytes to copy".
So, it is not the total size of all data involved in the sync, but only the size of the 1706 , respectively 318+18 files to be copied over.
For an initial sync (with initially empty right-side), this data-size will equal the data-content of all folders in the sync. At any consequetive sync, the number of files to be copied over and hence the size of the data, will be (likely: substantially) less.

Thanks for your anwer but the problem is that both snapshot went before any sync... Target folder did'nt even exist. Now, sync've been done and...

FFS 9 says : job done
FFS 10 says : 318 files still missing
Explorer says : paths are the same both in FF9 and FF10 for source and target
I say : is FFS running... ? Did I lost some files using FF9 before ?

Very very strange, this morning FFS 9.2 says 2.7 Go to be synchronized... Same settings, same computer... Is FFS reliable at last ?

When I use FFS as a backup tool, I use the Mirror variant.

Instead you have chosen to use a Custom variant doing nothing in case of "Right side is newer" and "Item exist on right side only".

Try with the Mirror variant.
