If you are using the most recent version of FFS, temporary network drops are covered, and never lead to data loss.
My apologies and thank you for the swift response.
On trying to replicate this I can see what I have missed: I was trying to emulate the batch job by running the job in the GUI first ...

I've recently moved to FreeFileSync from batch robocopy jobs because FFS has a GUI and has options like shadow copy. FFS is great, but I have noticed a behaviour which defeats my backup.

I am running FFS on a single machine which mirrors a number of folders from network shares to a local backup ...
