During synchronization, a database file is created, in this case there will be one such file for several tasks, will this not cause an error? In this regard, the question is: is it possible to perform several simultaneous synchronizations from one address?

First question:

Second question:
Not clear what exactly you mean by "one address", but in general: no problem.
You can simultaneously run multiple FreeFileSync (FFS) instances, even on one and the same computer. The only thing you must take care of, is that there is no full or partial overlap between locations being compared and synced by those simultaneously running FFS instances.

1. That is, it is impossible to simultaneously synchronize the same data with different tasks?
2. Is it also not possible at different times?

I beg to disagree with xCSxXenon here:

> 1. That is, it is impossible to simultaneously synchronize the same data with different tasks?

As it is syncing the same data, there must be a full or partial overlap in the locations being compared and synced (see my 1st reply).
If you did not disable (=set to False) LockDirectoriesDuringSync, your multiple FFS instances will not run simultaneously.
If you did disable (=set to False) LockDirectoriesDuringSync, your multiple FFS instances will run simultaneously, but the sync results may be unexpected/unpredictable.
