can also be used to simulate a "compare by file size",
ignoring last modification times: If tolerance is set to some high
value, e.g. 2.000.000.000, then changed files will be detected as a
conflict (same date, different file size) and the
synchronization direction for conflicts can be set accordingly.</FONT></P>

order to avoid race conditions of multiple FreeFileSync instances

active FreeFileSync will binary-compare source and target files after
copying and report verification errors. Note that this may double
file copy times and is no guarantee that data has not already been
corrupted prior to copying and corruption is not hidden by
deceptively reading valid data from various buffers in the
application and hardware stack.</FONT><BR><A HREF="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2012/09/19/10350645.aspx"><FONT FACE="Tahoma, sans-serif">Does
