Hi,
On advice from another thread I tried using SyncToy to back up
documents to an external hard drive. After one successful go, the next
times it only says "exception during run: the File Sync Provider
received an unexpected error while applying a synchronised change" and
fails to perform the back-up.
Any advice, anyone?? Thanks.

For back up use SyncToy action: Echo
There are some problems with action: Synchronize

' Exception during run: The FileSyncProvider received an unexpected
error while writing a change - Microsoft Sync Framework'

I have tried Echo, Contribute and Synchronise again and in every case
the same message appears and it fails to perform the back-up. I made a
new folder pair and tried that and the same again.
Any clues what to do???
Reading other comments it seems that an earlier version of SyncToy was
better....

I do have Nero which offers a back-up facility which seems to work
well, and can be scheduled.
Any advice or experiences with that??
