> the first log I commented is from 5.21 without the retry function.

Allright, then it's fine, I assumed both were supposed to be from 5.22.
Sorry for the confusion. I just edited the log post to make that more clear. Thanks again for adding the retry function. I can't wait to see it actually ...

It seems you're not running FFS 5.22, but an older version.
What? The About screen says 5.22 Build Oct 1, 2013 Unicode x64. Why do you say it's not 5.22? And it has the retry function, set to 2 retries, 10 secs. And 5.22 is the only version with this function.

Remember, the first log I commented ...

I see. So here is how it looks when it was a manual retry a few days back, using 5.21

And here is the one from this morning that was successful, using 5.22:

Sorry for the delay. I am now using 5.22 and set it to auto retry. I had been getting the error for weeks now, so it was pretty much constant. I updated to 5.22 and got the error the next day. But I had forgotten to change the setting and enable the retry feature. I did that and this morning I just ...

Well, 4 days in a row now... still getting the error each morning again. Of course I hit Retry and it works. I don't know why this issue has returned. Last time the issue only lasted 3 days. I am on day 4 now.

Error came back. The only thing that has changed since the last time, is that I have been updating as the updates come out. So a days ago, I updated to 5.20. There has been reboots since then.

Here is a screenshot of the error. And of course, if I hit retry, it works fine. It would be nice if there ...

Well, I guess there is nothing to do. If it happens again, I will come back and update. But the first 3 days are the only times it happened. And the only thing I can pinpoint as a difference between those 3 days and the days it has been successful, is a reboot that I manually did for the week. I ...

I've created a modified version of FFS that will show the Windows error next time the directory is not found:
[404, Invalid URL: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/FreeFileSync_5.19_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Other reasons for not finding a particular folder could be missing permissions in which ...

The error message above does not reveal the Win32 error code. FFS is using GetFileAttributes to check file existence. Maybe the error code gives some clue about why Windows did not ...

While I don't see any logs or other proof, or even a real solid connection here. I do see 1 other task running at 1am. My SQL backup job. While it's not backup up those files when the FFS job runs and it backs up the DB zips just fine. I am going to shift my FFS job to 1:30am so there is nothing ...

Currently not, but FFS will get this feature in the future:

What error message are you seeing?
Hmm, odd. It didn't have an error last night. But Here is the log details from the night before when it did have the ...

What error message are you seeing?
I will make a screenshot tomorrow morning when I see it again. But it's something about a folder being empty. Which it is ...

My USB 3 drive will always be sleeping by the time my scheduled job runs. But it always has a popup in the morning because it doesn't see the folders. I press retry, the drive spins up, and syncs. Annoying because none of the syncing happens overnight. It happens after I press retry and the drive ...

While I too would rather see development focus elsewhere. Given that I am already familiar with Windows scheduling. Yet there are plenty of examples out there where BOTH options are in the solution. So I am all for this feature request. It would be helpful to some people to have the option of simply ...
