Sparse file - to large after mirror

I am using version 11.2 to mirror some files from one drive to another drive. The target volume ran out of space as it was not copying the files, keeping the sparse file size. I am not able to find any option to enable or disable sparse file support. The source and target drives are both NTFS.

FFS will copy files as sparse if the target file system supports it. I suggest setting up a test case copying only a single sparse file and see if that works. If it doesn't, next step is: https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#trace
