Hi, I'm using freefilesync with a usb key and three PC and daily sync_ffs_db file is damaged (one linux and two windows)... Where does this could come from ? What is the procedure recovry ? By the way some PC look with a bad time stamp because freefilesync propose to synchronise about all files stored into my usb key. But I can't understand where is the problem, it looks not to be time PC. May it be a problem with the usb key file system ? I read help from freefilesync about +/- 1 hour shift but I don't understand what to do... Thank you for your help.

Do you mean it's damaged daily or that it is just damaged right now?
The corruption may be caused by an error of the disk/network share where they are stored. To recover ignore the warning after comparison and manually check the sync directions on the main grid.

This is very likely caused by the daylight saving time switch. FFS has special handling to prevent this situation, but it needs to compare both sides at least once to become effective.
