"Copy symbolic links as-is" option not saved

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

"Copy symbolic links as-is" option not saved

Hello, this option for some reason doesn't get saved. Does anyone know why? A bug maybe?
Modify a profile > Copy/Delete > Links > Copy symbolic links and junctions as-is [..]

In the end I had to use robocopy via command line, but I would have preferred to use SyncBackFree instead.

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification. Apparently there was a bug in the user interface, those options should not be available in SyncBackFree but only in SyncBackPro and SyncBackSE. This is already being mentioned in the application's help file.

We have fixed the UI bug for the next release.
