All files included

No files excluded

Do not check file contents

Include read-only files

All subfolders included

SyncToy run took 00:00:00:180.

Copied 0 bytes in 0 files in 00:00:00:180.

Bytes per second 0.0, files per second 0.0.

Synctoy

Hi Kevin,

Let's determine the cause of the issue. Kindly provide us more details by answering the following questions:

• Are you using a 32bit or 64bit system? On the Start menu, type System, and then hit Enter.
  
• Are you getting any error messages before the SyncToy application hangs?
  
• Has the SyncToy application in Windows 10 ever worked before?

We look forward to your response.

 

Synctoy alternative

Hello,

I forgot about this question as SyncToy, through no action of mine, after a few day suddenly worked again.

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the background of my Windows (or any) computer but hey, it works again.

SyncToy is, for me anyway, the best way to back up my stuff. Next to Windows Backup utility.

SyncToy allows me to select which folder to backup, whereto, and when.

Thank you,

NZ

 

Downloading Synctoy for windows 10

Not helpful. Anyone that has any knowledge about Microsoft should answer this question without messing around. As an outsider all I can see is that SyncToy isn't supported in Windows 10, so no point in sending people on a wild goose chase. What would be
good is to provide a link to software that does something similar.
