error traversing directory

[sevyy]

First of all, many thanks for this wonderful piece of software ! I used it
with a great pleasure for a long time :)
I'm currently with version 3.6. I would like to sync 2 external HDD drive of
1.5 Tera and with the first sync, I got the following error message :
Error traversing directory
d:\system volume information
Windows Error Code 5 : acces refused
Abort - REtry - Ignore

I don't remember getting this kind of error message before (but it's the first
time I sync 2 hard disk, normally, I'm working with directories). Is it normal
?
What's wrong ?

Thanks in advance for your help and ... happy easter !

By default FreeFileSync excludes the following directories:

\System Volume Information\
\RECYCLER\
\RECYCLED\
\$Recycle.Bin\

Maybe you've accidentally removed "System Volume Information" from exclude
filters or deactivated filtering at all.

thanks a lot for this quick reply !
after reading your message, I went to Configure Filter | Global Filter :
I saw I add *.lnk, by clicking "Default", the following lines appeared :
\System Volume Information\
\RECYCLER\
\RECYCLED\
\$Recycle.Bin\

I will test it tomorrow... but I guess everything will be OK ;-)

Thanks a lot,

... and everything is OK :)
