Please note the exact path and the exact name of the (***.ffs_tmp)
FFS v12.1 - 64Bit - 2023-02-21 - Donate Version
I had already talked about this problem a couple of weeks ago, and I was advised to exclude RecycleBin through filters.
This explanation, for numerous subsequent events that have never happened in the 4/5 years that I have been using FFS, did not convince me as explained at the end of the post, so please excuse me but I would like to go back to the topic to understand if there is is a definitive solution and possibly know the detail of it.
The problem is recurring. I don't know exactly when it started, but - up to about six months ago I never had it. I don't remember ever changing the initial configuration of FFS except for some filter added a couple of weeks ago for RecycleBin, recommended in reply to my previous post.
The current setup of FFS is to mirror a series of folders from disk C to disk D and - later - from disk D to disk E. The disks are all local.
Since first using FFS, I have excluded system folders and some User folders which normally have locked files.
After a successful scan, sync sometimes stops with the reason:
I tried to deal with this problem by adding from time to time - after the error pop-up is displayed - the *RecycleBin* filter for each pair of folders, but - on closer inspection - the path to the RecycleBin displayed by the pop-up ("E:\SOFTWARE\Recyclebin~142c.ffs_tmp\ . . . ) is different from the standard path to the Recycle Bin which is: D:\$RECYCLE.BIN or E:\$RECYCLE.BIN."Failed to read file attributes" - "E:\SOFTWARE\Recyclebin~142c.ffs_tmp\Backup-Sync-DiskImages"
"Temporary access error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: The specified file cannot be found. [GetFileAttributes]"
Recyclebin~142c.ffs_tmp appears to be a FFS file. . .
Upon request, I can post the .ffs.gui file. I hope I made myself clear
