Howdy,
I manually started a backup to copy data to Google Drive from folders with a specific property, works absolutely fabulous! These folders contain somewhere between 1 - 1.5TB. Google drive seems to limit the bandwidth per connection to 750GB per day. Freefilesync rightfully confronted me after copying approx. 750GB with an error that it had reached the data limit. This is supposed to be a redundant backup to the cloud running on a server that is not checked every day. The plan is to make this a scheduled task, would that already eliminate this error or is there another trick or workaround available to automatically continue copying once Google drive resets the counter?
Cheers,
Arco

With 1~1.5TB of data and a daily limit of 750GB, your initial sync should take two sync sessions spread over two days. Simply re-run FFS the second day. It will conclude part of the data is already there, and effectively continue to sync the remainder of the 1~1.5TB.
I suppose only a very small part of your 1~1.5TB data changes daily.
Any consecutive FFS sync (past the first two) should then be substantially below 750GB, and should run OK as a daily sync.
