Delay assistance

[ksukat]

I am currently running FreeFileSync version 11.11 64bit dated 6/11/2021
I have an VM on my WIndows 10 PC. I run FreeFileSync on the PC (Not on the Virtual Machine).
I have a Synology NAs on my network. It is connected and works fine.
I have a FreeFileSync job that backs some files from the Virtual Machine to the NAS. The Source folder on the VM with the files is a share and is mapped to a drive letter on my PC. The destination folder on the NAS is a mapped drive letter on my PC.
I created a task for Windows Task Scheduler to run after hours to copy the data from source to destination. So far, every morning I come in with a prompt dialog for not finding the destination path. I press retry and it instantly finishes.

Reading Google, I saw batch files to "spin up" the NAS drives and I saw a reference that a delay was added to the FreeFileSync program to delay for 20 seconds. Is this a default unchangeable value baked in the code, or is the default setting less and the user can bump it all the way to 20 seconds ?

Any help with this issue appreciated. BTW, yes I have run with highest priority checked.

Thanks in advance.

Mapped folders are only accessible from the user they are mapped with. If you are running the task with highest privileges, you may try unchecking that

I saw batch files to "spin up" the NAS drives

What is that batch file?

(For Windows) I set up, WAKE-UP-NAS.bat:

C:\Nirsoft\WakeMeOnLan.exe   /wakeup   NAS

I saw a reference that a delay was added to the FreeFileSync program to delay for 20 seconds

And then (from that ancient thread) the addition of an automatic retry.

If your issue is not as mentioned above, you could issue a SLEEP (in Windows) for the length of time you need.

SLEEP 18
