Cloned a SSD to a HDD for a hot backup drive.  Been using FFS to keep the hot backup current.  On the backup drve (F drive), found a number of directories with a iteratve subdirectory looking like the following:

F:\RecycleBin.ffs_tmp\RecycleBin_2.ffs_tmp\RecycleBin_1.ffs_tmp\RecycleBin.ffs_tmp\RecycleBin_2.ffs_tmp\RecycleBin_1.ffs_tmp\. . . . . . . .

Besides taking up space, it’s time consuming to remove the left over directories as W8 reports the root file names to be too long and so it won’t allow deletion.  I’ve been renaming  the folder names to single letter names to get the root name down to a size the OS will allow for deletion.

What are these?  What did I do wrong in setting up the sync rules?  The sync rules are basic with just exclusions (i.e. pagefile,)?

I’ve attached the log from the last sync.
