Dear Plerry，

However, the easiest way to overcome potential overlap in your setup is to create a folder J:\D (or have FFS create it for you), and sync D:\ to J:\D instead of to the root of J:\, by changing your first left right folder pair from D:\ => J:\ into D:\ => J:\D .

Thank you for your response.

Thaks for your reply.
Do you know how to get the previous version?

When RealTimeSync is running, the progress screen of FreeFileSync is now displayed due to a file change. This was not the case before. Is this due to a version change? Or is it because of my settings?
