Hi Guys,

i am new to this forum and my search for my solution was not helpfull so even if this question has been answered somewhere somehow i would be glad if you could bare with me or point me to the right thread.

I have a huge Hard disk with all my valuable stuff on it and another harddisk of same size as an external drive which i use as a backup drive....the data on my main hard drive changes almost every hour cause i move stuff, delete duplicates etc etc.... so freefilesync is sometimes a good help but only if the folder structure etc did not change much (yes i know there is an option to make FFS detect moved files etc)...

so long story short i would love FFS to be able to replicate the dataset on my main drive (a simple sync) but all changes (deletion, moved folders etc) should be saved in a separate folder for me to doublecheck ... so basically what i am trying to ask is: can FFS somehow save all "non-identical" files and folder so a separate folder ?

Thanks in advance

No, because that is not syncing anymore. Why do you want to double check? Just look at the comparison results

Is there a way to move (keeping the folder structure) the "non-identically" files somewhere after i compare 2 folders ? i did not find a feature like that

I'm sure there is a batch script that could parse the log file and complete that, but it's easiest to just double check in the compare window before it syncs
