Bonjour,
I didn't pay attention. When I wanted to restore an old file, I opened the directory and ho surprise, the backup directory is full of unusable files.
For more details, in the destination directory:
In Job-202303121645255 directory
In Job-202303121645255_2023-04-22_16-51-28 directory
dd-0.pvhd
hdd-0_e00.pbe
Job-202303121645255_2023-04-22_16-51-28.pfi

I must have missed something when I backed up with FreeFile.
Regards,
Leloup

Do dd*, hdd* have to do with paragon backup?
If so, then it seems you have backups of those files (at least from 2023-04-22).

What files are you expecting?

What sync settings are you using?

Do you have Versioning "Limits" set (which might purge older, or whatever versions)?

Bonjour therube,

This is all the more curious as I don't have a paragon application on my PC.
If I type "paragon" in the search bar, it finds Thunderbird files. I don't see the connection.

I resaved in administrator mode and this time the expected files are the destination directory. But I don't see why it's necessary to use FreeFileSync in administrator mode.
The expected files are microsoft words files, pdf files and so on.

Regards,
Leloup
