NTFS File ID changing on moving / renaming files?

[fattipants2016]

I'm attempting to use FreeFileSync to push a copy of my computer to an off-site server.

FreeFileSync has the ability to track renamed/moved files, rather than simply duplicating them, or deleting/re-uploading the same file.

This functionality relies on the NTFS unique file identifiers to match files that have been renamed/moved.

The machine running Drivepool, however, seems to assign a new file ID each time the file is renamed or moved.

Is this a known issue? Is there some sort of Drivepool file ID that supercedes/replaces the NTFS ID?

I've attached two sample images of a successful rename/sync, and an unsuccessful example.

Pointing FreeFileSync at the physical disks isn't going to be an option, so I'd really like to get this working.

I'm attaching another screenshot to better illustrate the problem.

 

When I rename the File Rabbits1.mp4 to Rabbits1~Rename.mp4 the file ID on the physical disk remains the same, but changes in the pool.

 

Is there any way around this? I've tried disabling / enabling different 'performance' features in Drivepool, but none of them seem to stop it.

I'm going to make a support ticket. I'll report back if I get any more information.
