    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.

    Batch Scripting -(Windows)

    +

    Batch +Scripting


    -

    In -order to facilitate using FreeFileSync and RealtimeSync in advanced -synchronization scenarios, creating batch files is a good way to -provide additional functionality. The following section will give -some general hints and examples for custom *.cmd and *.bat files.

    +

    FreeFileSync +can be called from command line and supports integration into batch +scripts. This section gives some general hints and examples for +Windows *.cmd and *.bat scripts.


    -
      -

    • When - starting a batch file from RealtimeSync make synchronous calls to - FreeFileSync only. This will prevent RealtimeSync continue detecting - changes while synchronization is still in progress.
       

      -

    • During - execution of a Windows Batch file (*.bat/*.cmd) a black console - window is shown. You can hide it using the Visual Basic script - "RunSilent.vbs" located in FreeFileSync's installation - directory.

      -
    -
      -

      Usage:

      -
    -

    -

    - wscript C:\Program - files\FreeFileSync\Invisible.vbs C:\MyBatchFile.cmd

    +

    When +FreeFileSync is started in batch mode (a *.ffs_batch file is passed +as argument) it returns one of the following status codes:

    +

    +

      +

      Return + Codes
      0 - + Synchronization completed successfully
      1 - Synchronization + completed with errors
      2 - Synchronization was aborted

      +


    -
      -

    • FreeFileSync - returns with an Errorlevel below zero if unresolved problems remain:

      -
    -

    +

    Now +you can check if synchronization was successful from a script:

    +

    "C:\Program - Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" - "H:\Silent_Config.ffs_batch"
    if not errorlevel 0 - (
          ::if - something went wrong, add special treatment here
          echo + Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "H:\some + folder\SyncJob.ffs_batch"
    if errorlevel 1 (
          ::if + return code is 1 or greater, something went wrong, add special + treatment here
          echo Errors occurred during synchronization...
          pause
    )



    +

    Instead +of displaying "An error occurred!" you can also send an +email notification (using a third party tool). +


    -

    Example: -Shutdown PC after synchronization

    -

    +

    -   ::start - FreeFileSync Batch - Job
    "C:\Users\ZenJu\Desktop\SyncJob.ffs_batch"
          ::schedule - shutdown after 10 seconds
    shutdown - /s /t 10

    + Attention
    Make sure your + script is not blocked by a popup dialog. Consider the following + options when setting up a FreeFileSync batch job:

    +
      +

    • Disable + checkbox "Show progress dialog" or have "On + completion" automatically close the results dialog after + synchronization.

      +

    • Set + "Error + handling" + to "Exit + instantly" + or "Ignore + errors".

      +



    -

    Example: -A simple locking facility – (Note: -FreeFileSync already has a more powerful directory locking -mechanism implemented that allows multiple writers in parallel)

    -

    -

    - :tryAgain
    if - not exist \\share\folder\lock (
          ::create - the lock
          echo - This is a lock file > \\share\folder\lock
          ::execute - the synchronization batch job synchronously
          "C:\Program - Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" - "C:\MySyncJob.ffs_batch"
      del - \\share\folder\lock
    ) else (
          ::wait - 5 seconds then try starting sync again:
          choice - /C:AB /T:5 /D:A > NUL
      goto tryAgain
    )

    Daylight +saving time (Windows)

    +


    +

    +

    A +common problem synchronization software has to deal with are +-1 hour +file time shifts after a Daylight Saving Time (DST) switch has +occurred. This can be observed for example when a FAT-formatted +volume is compared against an NTFS volume as frequently happening +with USB memory sticks. Files that previously appeared to be in sync +are now shown with an one hour modification time offset, although +they have not been modified by the user or by other means.

    +

    The +reason for this strange behavior lies in the way NTFS and FAT drives +store file times: NTFS stores time in UTC format, while FAT uses +local time.

    Daylight -saving time (Windows)

    -


    -

    -

    A -common problem synchronization software has to deal with are +-1 hour -file time shifts after a Daylight Saving Time (DST) switch has -occurred. This can be observed for example when a FAT-formatted -volume is compared against an NTFS volume as frequently happening -with USB memory sticks. Files that previously appeared to be in sync -are now shown with an one hour modification time offset, although -they have not been modified by the user or by other means.

    -

    The -reason for this strange behavior lies in the way NTFS and FAT drives -store file times: NTFS stores time in UTC format, while FAT uses -local time.

    -

    When -times stored in these two different formats are compared, one format -has to be converted into the other first. In both cases Windows uses -the current DST status as well as current time zone information for -its calculations. Consequently the result of this comparison is -dependent from current system settings and in particular file times -that used to be the same can show up as different after a DST switch.

          Run as Service -(Windows only)

          -


          -

          -

          The -following step-by-step guide describes how to setup RealtimeSync (or -any other application) as a Windows Service. This is necessary if the -tool shall run on the SYSTEM account independent from currently -logged-in users. If you are the only user and all you want is to -start RealtimeSync automatically then it's better to place a link -into Windows' Autostart folder, specifying RealtimeSync.exe and the -.ffs_batch or .ffs_real file as argument.

          -


          -

          -

          1. Get -access to the command-line tools "instsrv.exe" -and "srvany.exe" -which come with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools:

          -

          -


          -

          -

          2. -Create and register a new Service via command line:

          -
            -

            -

            - instsrv <ServiceName> - <PathToResourceKit>\srvany.exe

            -
             

            -
          -


          -

          -

          3. Link -the new Service with RealtimeSync:

          -
            -

          • Open - the Registry editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to key - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<ServiceName>"

            -

          • Add - a new key "Parameters".

            -

          • Add - a new String value named "Application" - and specify a command line that shall be executed as value.

            -
          -


          -

          -

          The new -service is now ready for operation!

          -


          -

          -

          -

          - Attention:
          When running - RealtimeSync as a service the application has no means to interact - with the user. Therefore any popup dialog will halt the process! - Consider the following options when setting up a FreeFileSync batch - job:

          -
            -

          • Disable - checkbox "Show progress dialog" or automatically - close it after synchronization.

            -

          • Set - "Error handling" to either "Exit - instantly" or "Ignore errors".

            -

          • At - least for debugging purposes or initial setup "Allow service - to interact with desktop". The may show error dialogs - otherwise hidden by the SYSTEM account.

            -
          -

          -


          -

          -


          -

          -

          You can -start the service now via command line or Windows Service -administration:

          -
            -

            -

            - net start <ServiceName>

            -
             

             

            -
          -

          Volume Shadow -Copy Service (Windows only)

          -


          -

          -

          FreeFileSync -supports copying locked or shared files by creating a Volume Shadow -Copy of the source drive. To enable this feature go to Menu --> Advanced -> Global settings: Copy locked files.

          -

          -

            -

            Note:

            -

          • This - functionality is applied to locked files only. Regular files will - not use Volume Shadow Copy Service when being synchronized.

            -

          • Creating - Volume Snapshots using VSS requires the application to be started - with administrator rights.

            -
          -

          -

          -

          Troubleshooting

          -

          If you -experience problems using the Volume Shadow Copy Service a renewal of -registration might help. Create and execute a *.cmd batch file with -the follow content or enter directly via command line:

          -

          -

          - cd /d %windir%\system32

          FreeFileSync +does not support accessing FTP volumes directly. But this +functionality can be integrated by mapping the FTP web space to a +drive letter:

          +


          +

          +

          Example: +Use the free utility NetDrive +(http://www.netdrive.net)

          +
            +

          • Add + a "New Site" and specify site name, site URL, drive + letter, account and password.

            +

          • Use + the newly created drive as if it were a regular hard disk.

            +
          +

          +

          + Note
          Most FTP drives set a + file's time stamp to the current time when synchronizing ignoring + the source file's time and date. As a workaround you can do a + "compare by filesize"; see corresponding section.

          +

          +

          +


          +

          +


          +

          +

          Synchronize with +SFTP (Linux)

          +


          +

          +

          An SFTP +share can be easily mapped onto a local folder for use with +FreeFileSync:

          +

          +

            +

          • Install:
            sudo + apt-get install sshfs
             

            +

          • Mount + SFTP share:
            sshfs + ssh-account@ssh-server:<path> mountpoint
             

            +

          • Unmount:
            fusermount + -u mountpoint

            +
          +

          USB +sticks often get different volume names assigned when plugged into +different computers. FreeFileSync offers two solutions to handle this +issue:

          +


          +

          +

          Option +1: Specify a directory via volume name: Syntax: [volume +name]\path

          +

          +

          + Use "[ZENJU-USB]\folder" + instead of "G:\folder" + where "ZENJU-USB" + is the name of the USB stick that is currently mounted in volume + G:\.

          +

          +

          +

          It is +not required to look up and enter the volume name manually! Just +select the corresponding entry in the drop down menu.

          +


          +

          +

          Option +2: Use a relative +directory name:

          +

          +

            +

          • Use + "\folder" + instead of "G:\folder"
             

            +

          • Save + and copy synchronization settings to the USB stick: + "G:\settings.ffs_gui"
             

            +

          • Start + FreeFileSync by double-clicking on "G:\settings.ffs_gui"
            → + Working directory is automatically set to "            G:\" + by the operating system so that "\folder" + will be resolved as "G:\folder" + during synchronization.

          Volume +Shadow Copy Service (Windows only)

          +


          +

          +

          FreeFileSync +supports copying locked or shared files by creating a Volume Shadow +Copy of the source drive. To enable this feature go to Menu +-> Advanced -> Global settings: Copy locked files.

          +

          +

            +

            Note

            +

          • This + functionality is applied to locked files only. Regular files will + not use Volume Shadow Copy Service when being synchronized.

            +

          • + Creating Volume Snapshots using VSS + requires the application to be started with administrator rights.

            +
          +

          +

          +

          Troubleshooting

          +

          If you +experience problems using the Volume Shadow Copy Service a renewal of +registration might help. Create and execute a *.cmd batch file with +the follow content or enter directly via command line:

          +

          +

          + cd /d %windir%\system32
          Net + stop vss
          Net stop swprv
          regsvr32 ole32.dll
          regsvr32 + oleaut32.dll
          regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
          Vssvc /register
          regsvr32 + /i swprv.dll
          regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
          regsvr32 es.dll
          regsvr32 + stdprov.dll
          regsvr32 vssui.dll
          regsvr32 msxml.dll
          regsvr32 + msxml3.dll
          regsvr32 msxml4.dll
