Last, I did an Explorer search on the target drive ("I") and I found one and only one version here as well.įinally, I looked at last night's log and - YES - I DID find multiple mentions of this file but ALL of them referred to the version on the target drive ("I"). I did an Explorer search on the second source drive in that batch ("Y") - just in case - and there is NO version of this file on that drive. I did an Explorer search for that file on the source drive ("Z") and there is one and only one version of it. I am not certain what you mean by the "FreeFileSync file": The folder pairs from the ffs_batch file are listed in my last post. The ENTIRE "Y" and "Z" drives are then mirrored to their respective sub-folders on the "I" drive.

In case you are wondering: There are 4 files on the "Z" drive that get updated on the ROOT of the "I" drive. If you look at the "Right Threads lines (aka target folders) all of those are on the T5Backup2 drive which happens to have drive letter "I" assigned to it. If you look at the "Left Threads" lines (aka base folders), every one of them is on the "Y" or "Z" drives Z:\09 System\015 Directory Tools\$$ Synchronization\FreeFileSync\Config Files\DriveLetter\NightlyBatch Here are the Folder Pairs used (from the ffs_batch file): The only SOURCE location (base folders) are on "Y" and on "Z". "Folder \A and Folder \B are both trying to write to Folder \X" Is there a way to make the warning message more meaningful e.g. I would like to know the BASE FOLDERS on the SOURCE drive that are causing this warning.Ĭould someone please explain to me what this error message is trying to tell me ? What does this warning message mean: Is it trying to read a file on the TARGET drive and then write that same file back to the target drive? It would probably be a good idea to include an entry in the documentation that can be found using some sort of logical search term like “Symbol in log” or “Glasses” or “Floppy”.īack to my warning message: I am mirroring FROM TO In my case, the target drive is “I”. My first question was, what do the sunglasses and the floppy disk mean?Īfter lengthy futile searches in the manual, I finally found a forum post from Zenju that states:

I:\DIR 💾 \GlobalSettings-DriveLetter-NIGHTLY.xml I:\ 👓 DIR\\GlobalSettings-DriveLetter-NIGHTLY.xml To avoid conflicts, set up exclude filters so that each updated file is included by only one base folder. Warning Some files will be synchronized as part of multiple base folders. I received the following warning message and I need a bit of an explanation:
