There are several how-to's on the web (like ), but it might be best to explore it and its advanced settings/options yourself.Īctually robocopy seems simple to use. We have tested three Windows sync clients (FreeFileSync, Unison & cwRsync) with our Linux hosted group fileservers. Each version of a file has the date/time added to the name. There is also an option to remove older versions of files.Īnd maybe cannot be browsed with File Manager. Select Application > Add to open the Add Application window: In the Application field, enter the full path to the RealtimeSync executable, RealtimeSync.exe. There are several options to help manage disc space, like this one: The solution for me was that I had quotes in the 'Start In' field. I'm not sure I like the idea of a "snapshot" because it sounds like something that accumulates eventually filling up the backup drive, Uninstalling this variant: It is possible to use the software publisher's support site 1 2 or uninstall the software FreeFileSync. Okay, it looks like StartUp Control Panel doesnt like that file type, nor does Windows Task Scheduler.


Click the Settings tab, look for 'If the task is already running, then the following rule applies', should be at the bottom of the dialog, and set the DropDownList value to 'Stop the existing instance'. Follow these steps: -Right click your task -> properties. Therefore the technical security rating is 53 dangerous. I had the same issue when I tried running web pages with IE using windows scheduler. FreeFileSync.exe is not a Windows system file. You could also have a look at "File History", already included with Windows 10. This process is launched automatically by the Windows Task Scheduler. My wife will probably feel comfortable with FreeFileSync. There are no proprietary files involved, just a sync of the file system.

I've used FreeFileSync (open source, Windows, Mac & Linux) for years for my file/folder synchronization.
