Comparison +Settings

I. +Compare by "File time and size"

This +variant considers two files with the same name as equal when +modification time and file size match. The following cases are +distinguished:

file + exists on one side only
+
+
file + exists on both sides
+
1. different + date
  +
  - left + newer
    +
  - right + newer
    +
  +
2. same + date
  +
  - equal
    +
  - conflict + (same date, different size)
    +
  +
+

This +results into the following categories:

left + only
+
right + only
+
left + newer
+
right + newer
+
equal
+
conflict + (same date, different size)
+

II. +Compare by "File content"

Two +files with the same name are marked as equal if and only if they have +the same content. This option is more useful for consistency checks +rather than backup operations since it is naturally slower. The file +modification time is not taken into account at all.

file + exists on one side only
+
+
file + exists on both sides
+
+

As a +result the files are separated into the following categories:

left + only
+
right + only
+
equal
+
different + content
+

Symbolic link +handling

FreeFileSync +offers three options to configure handling of symbolic links (also +called symlinks or soft links):

Exclude: + Skip symbolic links while scanning + directories.

+
Direct: + Evaluate the symbolic link object + directly. Symbolic links will be shown as a separate entity on grid. + Links pointing to directories are not traversed and the link object + is copied directly during synchronization.

+
Follow: + Treat symbolic links like the object they are pointing to. Links + pointing to directories are traversed like ordinary directories and + the target of each link is copied during synchronization.
+

Note

In + Windows the symbolic link options apply to "Reparse + Points". Reparse Points are a more general concept + including symbolic links, junctions and mount points.
+
+ Copying symbolic links requires + administrator rights.
