DerHof2007 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 As the topic says.... Need to be able to sync and update from PC to NAS and occasionally external drives. Quote
dragon57 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 I use FreeFileSync and DSyncronize. FreeFileSync for scheduled backups and DSyncronize for real-time backups. Quote
DerHof2007 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 Freesync never worked for me. Tried it a few years ago and actually just a few hours ago before I saw this post. Does did a clean install of windows 7 and thought I'd try it again but same issue. When running in 'Echo' mode... which is what I would use 99% of the time... It does not sync deletes. It will copy new files from my left to right folder but wont replicate deletions. Some searching reveals that this has been a very common issue since day one but MS never seemed to care. Why is works for some and not others is a mystery. Quote
DOS76 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 FreeFileSync isn't a MS product so if it doesn't work correctly how is that their concern? MS does offer a tool called ToySync but I don't have any experience using it so can't comment on its performance. Quote

Sorry, SyncToy is what is giving me troubles... Freefilesync was on my radar of options to try so I guess that is what mixed me up. I will give that a shot later today. Quote
