At the top of page, between the "compare" box and the "synchronize" box,
there is a graphic of a filter. Click the filter and you'll see options

OK, if I ggo into folder options and unclick-Hide protected operating
system files the Thumbs are then visible.
That leaves 2 questions
1. why do some folders have them and others not ?
2. how to find what and where are the other 451 extra files in the
source folder

that's a good sign. Can you add all your files from a drive to a single
playlist (I think just right click and add).

Hmmm, I see you are comparing same folders, so that's good. Number of
subfolders is exactly the same, but files different. That makes me
nervous. When I do this, the files, folders, and bytes (not bytes on

I have a backup already. The reason I am doing this is that my primary
music folder is on a 1 TB HDD which has only about 30 G free space.
backup is a 1.5 TB HDD so it has plenty of space. I bought a 2 TB
Toshiba external from Amazon for $64 which I thought was a great price.
The plan is to use

that's what I did. Good news is that once you have a backup drive, the
updating with changes is very fast and automatic.

Played w FreeFileSync again this AM. What I need to do is copy my music
to a brand new HDD. I played w some newly created folders and used two
way sync. It appeared to work Am I missing anything ?
I have 860 G to process any thoughts on time frame ? Should I do in

You are correct, there were no subfolders. I think I understand better

It should create the missing (new) folder. Maybe you need to be choosing
the parent directory just above the folder. For example if I have
flac/artist/album/tracks
i set c:/flac to be the directory synched.
I dont recall call any user settings related to folders, but I'm away

Yes, freefilesync has 3 options for files that are being deleted from
the mirror drive: put them in recycle bin, permanently delete, or move
files to a user defined folder.

why not? unless you didnt change filestamps.
btw: xcopy /D /Y source:\ destination:\ or rsync is always a good
solution
I'd suggest that the mirroring approach only fulfills half of the
requirements for a good backup.
What happens if you accidentally delete some files on your main drive
but don't notice for a period of time. A period of time during which the
"deletion" has been written to your backup.
I use rsync

When I update my backups i use "Total Commander"; menu "Commands" ->
"Synchronize dirs"
I also use it at work when I have to compare source code trees ( files
including content).

Hello
My main music collection died last night (on a WD USB hard drive - one
drop too many !).
I have a double back up of this (another USB HD & an external,
AC-powered HD), but this has been done manually over the years so am
uncertain as to how accurate the backups are.
Is there an easy way
