Hi,
I've been using this app for quite a few years now... I have some idea of the subtleties and complexities involved in mirror and backup operations, so this is not a criticism... I'm just puzzled about what might have happened. Version is Syncback Free V8.2.18.0 (32-bit). OS W10.
I did this mirror operation from the My Document directory on one computer (computer "A") to an external hard drive... then I did the same Syncback job in RESTORE mode to mirror from the external hard drive to another computer ("B").
I was puzzled that a handful of files got the "Failed to copy from Destination : Cannot copy file (2): The system cannot find the file specified The file may have been deleted between the time it was scanned and the attempt to copy it was made" message. So I went and looked at the result of the mirror on the external HD: they were missing. I went back to computer A and the files were definitely present. I repeated the mirror operation from computer A to the HD: this time those files were copied OK. Then they were restored OK to computer B.
I got no error message with the first mirror attempt. I had a look at the log (Ctrl-L) ... but it (obviously) gave me information only on the successful second mirror job. I don't know whether log info relating to the first mirror attempt is kept somewhere, but all I know is that I definitely got "success" as the result.
Can anyone say what might have happened?
