Syncovery Support Forum

My profile wants to copy existing files when I have it set to exact mirror.

I mean it wants to copy files that I think it shouldn't based on name/size/date modified.

I have attached the profile 'ini' and screen shots showing Syncovery preview and the actual directory listing where you can see Syncovery is trying to copy files that exist. It's also not listing files that need to be deleted.

Hopefully there a setting I just need to change to make this work.

Hello,
these are files with Syncovery's "Filename Encoding". The timestamp was encoded into the filename.

Such filenames are only allowed on the right-hand side of a profile.

If you have such filenames on BOTH sides, you need to edit the profile and go to Versioning->More and choose:

X Do Not Decode Left-Hand Filenames When Building The File List
X Do Not Decode Right-Hand Filenames When Building The File List

Thank you for the quick reply. That fixed the issue.
