Hi,
I'm a new user of BC v.3, so new in this forum as well. I am using the software to synchronize (mirror) my external HDD's with one big internal 2 TB HDD.
On the 2 TB disc I've set up a dedicated folder for each external HDD. All changes (the adding, deleting and changes of files) are made on the external drives. The internal drive is only used as backup data storage.
I use the "Mirror -> Right" to compare the left side (external drive(s)) to the right side (dedicated folders on the 2 TB disc).
The synchronization compares, then makes the required changes on the right side. Everything seems fine, all the foldes looks like they're the same. BUT when I compare the 2 synchronized folders in "Folder -> Properties" in Explorer, it lists a different number of files and folders. If everything is in sync the 2 numbers should match.. right?
I have an idea that it might be some settings in BC v.3 that hasn't been configured properly. I've just run it "out-of-the-box" with the default settings. My guess is (since most of the files are pictures) that it might be hidden thumbs.db files (or maybe hidden system files) being skipped by BC.
Hope you guys have some ideas on how to solve this problem. Any help much appreciated. :-)
