The solution: The new 'Update' variant will determine sync directions based on 'changes' compared to This change couldn't be detected without a database, andĪ duplicate file was copied to the backup location instead of renaming the existing one. Unfortunately this is exactly what the old differences-based 'Update' did.Īdditionally, when a file on the source side was renamed, Them copied over again during the next sync: The user is cleaning up unwanted photos. On the other hand, deleting photos from the backup, should not get The user is making free space for new photos. When photos on the smartphoneĪre deleted, they should not also be deleted on the backup drive: These two cases, however, should get different treatment!Ĭopying photos from a smartphone to some backup location. The 'Update' synchronization variant wasn't as fundamental and useful as the other two, 'Two way', and 'Mirror'.īased on 'differences', it was unable to distinguish whetherĪ new file was created on the source, or if an old file was deleted on the target. In addition to 'differences' it is now possible to set sync directions based on 'changes': Previously they were based on the 'differences' found after comparison: left only, right only, left newer, right newer. Built-in locking serializes multiple jobs running against the same network shareĭownload FreeFileSync.12.2.Portable.rar – 15.FreeFileSync 13 generalizes the way sync directions are set up:.
