Error: Cannot Write Permissions.......

[btbow42]

I am using Free File Sync as Administrator in Windows 10.

I am getting thousands of errors messages, similar to:
3:48:02 PM Error Cannot write permissions of "F:\C Full Backup\Windows\SystemResources\accessibilitycpl.dll.mun".
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [SetFileSecurity]

I am backing up my C: Drive (SSD) to a USB SSD.

Exclude Files:
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\RECYCLE?\
*\desktop.ini
*\thumbs.db
*\LCU\

Sync Method: Mirror
Comparison: File Time & Size

Set to ignore errors, with no automatic retry.

I would appreciate any suggestions to reduce the numbers of errors such as this.

Thanks
Bruce

Those files likely require SYSTEM for access, which is not obtained even when running as administrator. You could try 'Copy locked files'

That may not work, but give it a shot. Backing up Windows' files in this way isn't really useful though. What is your end goal, a bootable backup?

I think my primary goal is to back up program settings, etc.. I know that it can't produce a bootable copy...
I didn't know whether I was missing some important setting, since there are many thousand of these files that can't be copied normally.
I do have the switch ON for 'copy locked files'

Thanks

If you are just trying to back up program settings, exclude the Windows directory from being backed up. Saves space, time, and there isn't a great reason to back it up anyway
