I am already using a scheduled mirror of one drive on my PC to another drive on my PC without any issues.
I also have a drive attached to my router (W:\). I would like to mirror to that as well. When I attempt that I get errors like this one referencing sync.ffs_lock. There is no file of that name.

The drive has several folders full of files. The weird thing is that depending on the folder I am trying to mirror I may or may not get this error.
If this matters - Before attaching the drive to the router I connected it to my PC and copied all the files over to it via File Explorer.
The error indicates that the user under which credentials FreeFileSync is run, does not have write access for W:\My Documents .
You indicate that the job is a scheduled mirror.
If you schedule a job via the Windows Task Scheduler, it is by default run as the (Windows machine) System user. You can change your scheduled job to run under specified credentials.
Note that also drive-letter assignments are user-specific.
I am sorry. Let me clarify. I want to run this as a scheduled mirror. At this point I am doing it manually to make sure it works without errors. Which it does not, yet.
