Copy missing files and folders

This option causes all files and folders not present in the directory on the other side to be copied.

Copy only files with the 'Archive' attribute

This option causes only files possessing the Archive file attribute to be copied. The sub-option Filter files without the Archive attribute enables you to filter all files without the Archive attribute.

Rules for Overwriting Files

This option specifies when a file is to be overwritten by another file of the same name. The following settings are possible:

1. Never overwrite
2. Always overwrite
3. Overwrite file if modified date/time of file being copied is more recent
4. Overwrite file if modified date/time of both files is different
5. Overwrite file if size of both files is different
6. Overwrite file if the contents of both files are different

One of the following additional rules is possible when applying main rules 3 or 4:

• or the contents of the files are different
• and the contents of the files are different
• or size of files is different
• and size of files is different

For other settings for comparing the contents of two files, see Copy Options - Content Comparison Method.

Treat files with a modified time differential of exactly ...

This option enables an exact time differential between the modified date/time of the source and destination file to be ignored, thus preventing the source file from being copied. The time differential can be specified in hours, minutes and seconds. This option may be useful after a switchover between standard and daylight-saving time, as the source and destination files may exhibit a time differential of one hour.

Treat files with a modified time differential of up to ...

This option enables a time differential of up to 24 hours between the modified date/time of the source and destination file to be ignored, thus preventing the source file from being copied. The time differential can be specified in hours, minutes and seconds. This may be useful when running copy operations between NTFS and FAT partitions, as the modified date/time of the two files may exhibit a differential of several seconds after copying.
