FreeFileSync Halp Please: FFS won't inlock locked files
FFS is working fine. First, here are my discs: C: is an SSD holding the OS only; X: is an internal rotating HDD holding only Documents, Movies, etc. etc. I have two ext. USBs for backups.
When I do a backup from X: to an ext. HDD, just before the Start button I get an error message (first attached image). I check "Don't show this warning again" and press Ignore. The backup completes correctly (I have checked this several times).
As backups are made later, these files accumulate on X: (second image). I can easily delete them by searching X: for "sync.ffs_". They do not appear on the ext. USBs, just X: (and also C: which I tried as an experiment). The offer of ignoring them implies that FFS expects them. So that's my workaround.
-- But why are they there? Does any other user get this? How can I prevent them?
(By the way, there is no contact address for the FreeFileSync.org, and Sourceforge (it's umbrella organisation) refers me to the forum but I get "You do not have permission to post in any forums". Yet the button "Donate with Paypal" works!!!)
-- Does anyone know of a contact?
Thanks.
