Got this error message. I'm trying to back up my media drive to another drive. I can physically drag from one folder to the other but I can no longer use FreeFileSync and I get this message. This was working fine yesterday. The only thing I did was create a RealTimeSync file but it was not running ehile I tried to back up.
Any ideas?

DST issues, possibly. Just a very wild guess

Solved: I went and created another 'Media' folder and copied everything into that one, then deleted the original folder that was giving me the problem. Thanks for the reply, though.

Interesting. The original directory must have had some permissions blocking it
