SyncToy

[PaulZ]

Hi ,
I have MS SyncToy installed and each time I run it , I get an error

synctoy can not access synctoy.log because it's currently in use.

The log file is stored in My Docs / SyncToy which of course, is being backed
up

Should I just igore it ? Can I move it to some other folder that isn't
backed up by SyncToy ? or is it some sort of bug ?

TIA

So it's complaining that it can't backup its own log file, because it's
currently in use by...itself.

Unless you care enough about the content of the log file to actually want to
keep a backup around for some obscure reason, I'd say just ignore it.

That's what I've been doing and all seems OK. Strange situation though..
Thanks for the reply!

Are you using Synctoy 1.4, or the 2.0 beta?
(the latter stores its data diffently, and perhaps would not do as you
describe)
