App Request: FreeFileSync

I'd love to see FreeFileSync make its way to the Terra-Master Applications portal.
It provides a number of excellent features, least of which are hash-based verification of sync/transfer results, allow-listing, block-listing, and regex-based filtering for files/folders/etc to transfer, pause/resume, "sync profiles", and scheduling with the optional daemon.

you have many others choices, like Duple backup, AOMEI backupper, both can do the same thing.

Thank you. I have looked at them, and to be frank, I don't trust them at all.
I've used FreeFileSync for enterprise data transfer/backup as well as machine migrations almost ten years ago across a large organization. I've also used it professionally and personally since. This program is battle-tested and incredibly robust, not to mention Open-Source and widely used.
The only information I can find about Duple is your press release and a small handful of posts here on the forum.
AOMEI Backupper doesn't seem to have the same feature set and flexibility of FreeFileSync, either. If it does, their documentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Thank you for your shares.
One more thing, as I see the app is free for windows, mac and Linux with graphic gui , this means you it is ready for you now. you can install this app on any of your computer, and backup your data to any destination you like, including nas I think. why you need this app run on a nas?

Correct, it has wide availability. I use it from my Windows and Linux machines to back-up from them to the NAS, as well as from them to other USB storage.
I would like it on the TOS device to backup/transfer from/to attached USB storage on the NAS.

As I said, This app is ready for graphic GUI, NAS is OS base on web, so this app not ready for a web application. If you want to backup your data from nas to USB, then try USB Copy app.
