Re: back up only new files

Please note that our program never bases its decision to copy (or not) on Creation date of files. We base those decisions on Last Modification date/time value stamps on files.

To back up files modified within a certain date range, you can use the setting found in

Modify Profile > Expert Mode > Compare Options > Date & Time

settings page, where there is an option to:

Ignore files that [have/have not]
been modified [within the last] XX [seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years] OR [since] [calender date][calender time]

By tweaking the settings [have/have not] in combination with [within the last/since], you would be able to set conditions to ignore files that were modified within a certain date range, e.g. within the last x days, or since January 1st 2004.

Note that the Date & Time setting in SyncBack bases its decision on the files last modification date & time, and not the file creation date & time. You have to ensure that files you are trying to copy from Source retain accurate date/time last modified information.

Bear in mind that the field value only accepts ranges of 0 - 65535 units.

Please take some time to review the information in the contextual Help file (at the Date & Time settings page, press F1 or click on the Help button).
