syncing local folders -- is it possible?

Support

Hi, at the moment I’d like to set up a local backup to a mounted usb drive on my computer. I can’t seem to find if it’s possible using Syncthing. If there is a manual somewhere I’d really appreciate any help.

I have it installed and working as a service on my linux box. Thanks

Its not a feature that syncthing has.

Run two syncthing instances on different ports and connect them locally (localdevis1, localdevis2)

No it’s not. And robocopy is for windows. syncthing is 99% does what I need it to do + retaining multiple previous versions.

I’ll try running it on different ports as @Catfriend1 suggested.

Thanks

Awesome, thanks @Catfriend1.

Just finished configuring, “very cool”.

And a little off-topic question, if I set the sync to 60s, and I will have, say 1kk files, do I need to to increase the number or 60 seconds would still be good?

Thanks!!!

Actually, nvmd, I’m stupid, just read that that’s a full scan. I’ll let system do it’s job. Thanks for all your help. feel free to close it
