Backup +Strategies

1. +Full backup with versioning of old files

In +synchronization settings select and specify "Versioning" +for deletion handling. FreeFileSync will place files that have been +deleted or overwritten with newer versions into corresponding +time-stamped sub directories. This provides a space-optimized way to +save all older versions of files separately while the most recent +ones are available in main source and target directories.

2. +Full backup to different target directories

All +directory input fields may contain environment variables and special +macros that are expanded during synchronization. This allows for +complete backups into different target directories.

Example:

A +directory "C:\Source" requires a daily backup into a +time-stamped target directory like "C:\Target_2009-10-08". +Base directories are set up accordingly:

+ Source folder: "C:\Source"
Target + folder: "C:\Target_%date%"

+

+

Latter +will be interactively replaced with the current date during +synchronization. In order to further automate this process, you can +create a *.ffs_batch file with this configuration and choose "ignore +errors" to avoid the popup message that target directory is +not (yet) existing.
