I use and love FFS. I try to automate a file syncronization on an UBUNTU 11.10
:
in root-user crontab i put the line:
...
01 1 * * 1-6 /usr/bin/FreeFileSync /root/DATI-01.ffs_batch
...
The configuratrion file (DATI-01.ffs_batch) is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FreeFileSync XmlType="BATCH">
<MainConfig>
<Comparison>
<Variant>ByTimeAndSize</Variant>
<HandleSymlinks>Ignore</HandleSymlinks>
</Comparison>
