I have three shared drives on my NAS (mapped to Windows drives) that I am mirroring to GDrive. Running on Windows 10, latest version of FFS with realtimesync monitoring one of the drives. I keep getting this in the log:
Cannot read database file "Z:\sync.ffs_db".
File content is corrupted. (invalid header)
I tried deleting the file only for the error to come back the next day.

My batch job is set to retry 3 times before ignoring, so it completes but always with this error.

Maybe there is a mismatch of using different FreeFileSync versions.

I am having the same problem. Using Linux Mint 19.3 and FreeFileSync 11.1 is there any way to repair the db file. This occurs on two computers but is isolated to one one external drive
