When you run a profile, if there are any differences detected then a differences window will appear (note that for scheduled tasks this window does not appear).
When a profile is run, SyncBack will compare the source and destination directories to find the differences. There may be files in the source that are not in the destination, for example. After it has made the comparison it will display a Differences window that lists all the differences between the source and destination directories. It is important to remember that this screen shows the differences between the source and destination directories. It does not display what will actually happen to the file, e. g. it does not say if a file will be copied to the destination.
Note that this window is not displayed if you run SyncBack with command line parameters (e. g. from the Windows Task Scheduler), or if a profile is run in the background, or if the 'Skip Differences Window' menu item is ticked (see the main menu), or if there are no differences. In most cases there is no need to display this window, except if you want to check to see what the differences are.
When the window is shown, it will list the files that are missing from the source, missing from the destination, or different in the source and destination. Next to the filename is an icon clearly showing what the differences are (you can also read a description of the differences in the 'Differences Summary' column):
The other columns show you the differences between the files, the size of the file, their modification dates & times, and their hash values (if you've chosen to use hashing in the file comparison options). You can also double-click a row to display the information on that file in a dialog box.
The table can be sorted by clicking on the columns. Click on the same column again to reverse the sort order.
If you click the right mouse button on a file in the list, a number of options are presented to you:
There are three tabs at the top of the screen: Modified, Modified (inc. excluded), and Modified (only excluded). Changing tabs filters what is listed on the screen:
At the bottom-left of the window as the page counter. This shows the number of pages, and what page you are currently viewing. You can type in the page number you want to view, or click the up-down buttons to change page.
After you have reviewed the differences, and are ready to continue with the profile run, you can click either the 'Continue' button or the 'Abort' button. Aborting will stop the profile run immediately and no files will be copied or deleted.
