Hello to all mates,
I have a Pendrive that I use it as toolbox, that means I stored in it all my programs and utilities needed for any inconvenience on any PC I have in my hands, anywhere; it’s not my job, but unfortunately anyone knows me they call me anytime there is something wrong on their computers, so I save myself with this 64Gb USB toolbox…
Now, of course anything stored into the pendrive is kept updated, due to this particular job I decided to do a backup on an external HDD anytime I have to manage it
I created a session for this purpose, the problem, very boring, is: if the pendrive letter change against the one in the saved FFS session, nothing will work
If I change the drive letter manually, that’s OK, but I have always a prompt window alerting me that those folders (LH source VS RH one) are very different, also if they are not (just the drive letter is changed!)
Is it possible to arrange FreeFileSync in a way that doesn’t matter the drive letter Windows will assign to the pendrive, FFS will manage it anyway using other data supplied by the removable drive (like a network card has a unique MAC address in the world, just to give you an idea): only in this way you’ll use FFS with no trouble at all
For the rest your software is wonderful, very good job mates!!
