Hello,

I have the following error message:
12:17:13    Error    Cannot write modification time of "G:\BACKUP\Desktop\OpenSans-Bold.ttf.ffs_tmp".
        Error Code 87: Parametro non corretto. (SetFileTime)
12:17:13    Error    Cannot write modification time of "G:\BACKUP\Desktop\OpenSans-Regular.ttf.ffs_tmp".
        Error Code 87: Parametro non corretto. (SetFileTime)
So it is impossible to have a backup of these files. I have the same problem if I move these files in other folders, and the same happens with other TTF font files in my archive.
There is a way to fix this issue?

I use FFS with Windows 10 and my backup is on an external HDD with exFAT file system.

Thank you

The problem is an invalid date, but FFS usually should still be able to handle this. exFAT is now considered, please test with this version below:

Thank you for the quick reply!

I installed this beta, unfortunately it still doesn't works, but now seems that the problem is clearly specified with this beta:
13:35:31    Error    Cannot write modification time of "G:\BACKUP\Desktop\OpenSans-Bold.ttf.ffs_tmp".
        A FAT volume can only store dates from 1980 to 2099:
            write time (UTC): 29/11/1979 23:00:00 (119572380000000000)
        Error Code 87: Parametro non corretto. (SetFileTime)

That's better. The issue itself can only be fixed by changing the modification time of the source file manually.

I changed the modification time of files and it works.

Many thanks, Zenju
