I want to backup the files from my Firefox profile folder to a folder on a SD card.
I then get the following error (see also the attached screenshot):
"Some files will be synchronized as part of multiple folder pairs.
To avoid conflicts, exclusion filters should be set so that each updated file is included by only one folder pair."

All other folders are perfectly synchronized and backuped.
What's the problem with the Firefox folder?

The warning is correct.
Your first right-side location is G:\Software\Firefox\Profiles
while your third right-side location is G:\Software
Therefore, your first right-side location is part of your third right-side location, which constitutes an overlap, and therefore a risk of unintended sync actions or loss of data.
Like suggested, you can solve this issue by e.g. adding \FireFox\Profiles
to the Exclude Filter.
Ah, now I understand!
Thank you. I saved the Firefox profile folder to another folder on the SD card and the problem is gone.
Love that program, it's so good. I used SimplySync before and it was crap compared to FFS.
