Hi all
On a backup computer, I have a source disk (D:, virtual disk made by RAIDRIVE) that is set as readonly for security reasons. As the disk is read only, Freefilesync retuns an error because it cannot create his files for synchronization on the source disk.
Is there any method to bypass this problem ?
Thanks.
Stefano.

You would need to do two things:
• In your Synchronization Settings (F8), uncheck the box for "Use database to detect changes"
• Change your LockDirectoriesDuringSync flag from Enabled="true" into Enabled="false"

But make sure to read the risk of setting that flag to false.
