> so what your saying is get one HDD u/4TB of one manufacturer, and a second HDD u/4TB with another manufacturer just to be sure I don't get " off the line " defects? You can automate it but i don't like doing that since there are sometimes i'm doing maintenance and i don't want the other drive to write all files when i know i'm gonna delete them. so any changes to any file, it will overwrite or add it to the specified directory stated. i basically mirror my primary backup drive to my secondary drive. if you're not tech saavy or frankly just want mirrored backups, you don't really need RAID.įree OOS and will compare directories stated in wherever you want. I mirror my drives because it's the easiest way to do it and i don't need anything more. Seems like a chore to set up, but doable. Some mods store settings in their own local files (for example vrik keeps your gestures and holster information) so again those files need to be synced (not a problem if you use synchronizing software), or just never change any mod settings. In addition to copying your MO2 folder (with your wabbajack install) you would have to copy some files to skyrim vr folder, things like SKSEVR and 3D sound. I use FreeFileSync ( ), but I don't think it supports onedrive.įor saves you can use steam cloud saves if you disable MO2 profile specific saves, or sync your MO2 folder with onedrive after each gaming session (with profile specific saves enabled). I know this could be done with google drive.Īlternatively you could look into file syncing software. After you finish plying wait for onedrive to sync files to it's servers. I don't use onedrive but maybe you can keep your MO2 folder on onedrive, before playing make it accessible offline (force onedrive to download files to cloud computer), then start MO2 from onedrive. This makes sure the monitored folders are not in heavy use when starting a synchronization.So each time you have to install steam, VD, Skyrim vr and copy wabbajack? Each time a file or folder is created/updated/deleted in the monitored directories or their sub directories, RealTimeSync waits until a user-configurable idle time has passed in which no further changes were detected, and then runs the command line. RealTimeSync receives change notifications directly from the operating system in order to avoid the overhead of repeatedly polling for changes. This is an excerpt from the FreeFileSync manual, hope it further clarifies this matter: If you do not make any further changes this time in that predefined delay interval, sync process will run in the background and synchronize the file with remote drive/partition/folder. Delay timer resets, and starts counting again to 10. Delay timer starts, and starts counting to 10: 1, 2, 3, 4… But, 5 seconds later you do another change and save the file again. In simple terms, let us consider an example: you work on a file, then you save it. Then the new cycle runs, but if there are no changes made, there will be nothing to sync. Process monitors changes, and when the timer reaches predefined delay without any further changes activities, it runs the sync procedure automatically in the background. while you work on heavy files on the main drive/partition/folder. Sync delay only defines actual synchronization frequency to spare your CPU/HDD/SSD/Network resources and avoid doing double work e.g. RealTimeSync process continuously runs in the background, yes it starts automatically when PC starts, and it also continues to run afterwards independently. Hi, good question, this is how we understand this feature: Regarding the delay time set in RealTimeSync, with an example of 10 seconds, does it sync whenever there’s an idle time of 10 seconds, meaning another sync will auto run after an elapse of 20 seconds and another sync will auto run again after an elapse of 30 seconds (and this keeps on going)? Or does the sync only happens once after a PC startup and will not happen again until the next PC startup? In another words, this is simply a backup file of main program configuration. Of course, *.ffs_gui is straightforward to explain: it is simply a settings file of all the options you set in the main program (app) windows with graphical user interface (hence, _gui part), containing folder pairs, sync modes, exclusion list etc. FreeFileSync – File Types (Extensions) ExplainedįreeFileSync has a little bit convoluted procedure for creating real-time synchronization between folders,īut first let’s learn one important thing which will help us better understand and go throughout the tutorial later.įreeFileSync can generate 3 different kind of files (extensions):Īll 3 extensions have different use cases. It will look extremely complicated and convoluted, but once you go through, it’ll become a routine task to set up later. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to utilize real time sync / backup on Windows 10 operating system in just a few relatively simple steps.
