Error: Cannot open directory D:\Recovery

[Stevekir]

When starting to do a manual Mirror backup of my D: HDD (which contains my personal files like documents, Pictures etc.) I always get this error message (see attachment). I can proceed by clicking on "Ignore" and the backup works.

But, I want to automate the backup using RealTimeSync and its ability, as explained in the manual, to automatically detect whenever a change in the source occurs and immediately make a backup in the background. However, it seems this will never work if the above error appears (because RealTimeSync probably won't be able to respond). I have tried deleting D\:Recovery but can't find it (it is probably hidden).

Can anyone please help me to remove this blockage so RealTimeSync will work?

Thanks.

Most likely, there is no need to sync the Recovery folder.
You can then exclude the Recovery folder from the FFS sync by adding \Recovery to your exclude filter.

Thanks.

Er... it doesn't work. I have added \Recovery to the exclude filter and did a backup, then replaced it with D:\Recovery and did a backup, but FFS still halts and says it cannot find that file.

Try adding a trailing backslash:

\Recovery\

Thanks to Gianni1962. That worked.
